Just wondering...
Does every mom wonder..."can I make it through this?"..."will they appreciate me when they get older?"..."am I disciplining them correctly?" All of these thoughts keep running through my mind the past couple of weeks. Life around here has been somewhat crazy and stressful and I just can't get these thoughts out of my head. Do other moms have these concerns...am I just crazy....how do other people deal? I know I love my kids...and I know that they love me. It's just been a rough patch lately....three small kids....one boy that is a handful...a baby...and a little girl getting an attitude (from me i assume..damn it!)...any help? I guess lately it's just been hitting a nerve with me...but I am sure that I will be fine...I just wish I could stop questioning myself. Enjoy your coffee!

You totally are not the only mother out there questioning themselves. I do it a million times every day! When you look at the magnitude of what we're doing, it's such a big thing. We're raising this tiny little person into someone that we can be proud to send out into the world and say "Hey look what I did!"
To make it worse, I have a very strained relationship with my mom and I really think that the only reason we talk is so that she can have a relationship with my kids. I don't want my kids to feel that way towards me. When you put that all together, that's a lot on our shoulders.
To me, just the fact that you care enough to question yourself, tells me that you're doing a great job and even though you may make a mistake here and there, you're going to raise beautiful children that you can be proud of!
Your kids will grow up they way they do partly because of you, partly in spite of you, partly because of genetics, etc. I think people place too much emphasis on the "upbringing" bit - it's important, but it's not everything. You're giving them a loving, stable environment. Lots of wonderful adults turned out okay with less.
Of course, I'll never understand the "mother's guilt" thing fully, but I think it's pretty much universal.
Kid's test us everyday!they will grow up to love and respect you because that is what you are giving them.Your a great mom and we all know,that they did'nt come with instructions it's a hit and miss game we all play we all do the best we can and hope for the best.That is what I did and I think I did pretty darn good!Stop betting yourself up relax and enjoy the ride.
I think its totally normal.....
At least i hope so... i would like for once to be able to say i'm normal.. hahahah
