Now that my kids are older, I still feel this way, only on a smaller scale. For example, if my kids are sick, I say to myself, “I should have made sure they washed their hands more.” If my kids get hurt, I say to myself, “I should have kept a closer eye out on them.”
Despite the pep talks from Husband Man, doubts always have a tendency to creep around in the corners of my mind. I wish I had an answer for all of it, but I don’t. I just know it has to stop!
I’m putting out a call to all the moms who read this blog….stop being so hard on yourselves when it comes to your children! None of us are perfect. Little Ms. Suzie Homemaker across the street is not perfect, even though she may give off the impression that she is. Little Ms. Corporate America isn’t perfect, even though she may give off the impression that she is.
We are not all supermoms. And ya know what?
