A MUM has revealed she burst into tears at school pick up time, in a brutally honest post.
Taking to Facebook, Laura Mazza said she was left feeling like she wanted to “drink, smoke or run away to a tropical island” after her awful day.

The mum-of-three wrote: “But none of those were an option, (well until right now) so instead I cried.
“I couldn’t hold back the tears quick enough for no one to see me. The whole school pick up line saw me.
“I was the parent who was 10 minutes late to school, with an aura migraine, on her sons third day, who parked in the no standing zone and blocked a whole bunch of cars and was told NEVER to park there, twice.”
Laura said it wasn’t just the school run which drove her to the edge, but body hang ups, exhaustion and rows with her husband.

“Today I looked at my body and saw a large fat gut that resembled 10 months pregnancy, and there’s no self love positive s*** from me today. I don’t like what I see,” she said.
“I’ve hit the bottom of the roller coaster and my engine has conked out and it’s being dragged up by a sloth.
“In other words, I’m so burnt out that I’m crispy. I’m tired. I’m exhausted. I can’t juggle any balls, not even my husbands.
“I’m fatter than ever, my skin looks like a nuclear war, my kids are driving me crazy, my health is in decline, I go to the doctors and complain that I’m exhausted and depressed and it’s suggested to get time for myself and good diet and exercise.
“I am s*** at work, I’m fighting with my husband constantly, some friends complain I don’t respond quick enough to messages or not making an effort, because I’m treating them like debt collectors.
“I haven’t even responded to the lady who does my nails after rescheduling twice because something comes up and again I’m last.
“And I’m not done, living pay check to pay check, falling behind in the cleaning, in responsibilities and in life. Feeling isolated, alone, lonely but too damn tired to socialise.
“And I want to f***ing scream, like Shannon noll ‘what about me???’
“It isn’t fair. I’ve had enough…
“So that was me, all three kids in the back screaming while I did the drive of shame out of the school no standing zone crying like Kim kardashian.”

After collecting the kids, Laura took them to McDonald’s for dinner but says she was “told how to parent” by another mum – who gave her a “backhanded compliment”.
She said: “Because no doubt the granny underwear sticking out of my jeans and my greasy hair made me look like I had my s*** together.
“I just wanted to tell this mother that I’ve been wanting to wash my hair for four days and I’m ready to lay on the floor of the playground in the foetal position and cry.”
Despite her honest moan, Laura says she still loves being a mum.
She wrote: “I can complain about my life and still be grateful and appreciate what I’ve got…
“But sometimes motherhood and life in general is a plain ol bitch, and the same people who drive us f***ing crazy are the same people that complete our lives, but I think it’s good that we get it out sometimes.
“Because what we see in the highlights reel on social media is just that. And we are all losing our s***, some more days than others.”
The post racked up more than 3,800 likes and 800 comments – while her fellow mums praised Laura for her honesty.
One woman wrote: “So very true, I could sit and cry and run away today, I can relate to so many things you’ve said, nice to know that we’re all slightly loosing our s***.
“But my family is the reason for keep going , pick myself up and get on with it, they need me just as I need them”.

While a second said: “I feel your pain” and a third: “You are beautiful and wonderful”.
Another mum raved: “Oh man! I’m smiling as I read your post in tears and laughter at the same time”.
Earlier this week, Laura begged other parents to “lower their lunchbox standards” so kids who don’t have fancy meals don’t feel unloved.
