You can't go comparing yourself to other people...because you are uniquely you, with your unique (wonderful) family!

Yes, there is room for all of us to improve. But the amazing fact of life is, that as long as our families know we love them and are trying our best (which is determinant on the moment at hand as to what 'best' qualified as), they will always forgive us. Thank goodness. You are amazing and a supermom (I'v always thought so). Good luck.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02335110822436486189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989676854656500628.post-38310064858023342142012-02-16T05:58:57.352-08:002012-02-16T05:58:57.352-08:00Yeah.

Did you know she does things like smelling the armpits to find her cleanest dirty shirt? Did you know that she sometimes looses patients (sp?) with her husband and children? That she doesn't make dinner every night? That she forgot her mother's birthday last year? <br /><br />My point is: We're all the same. She probably takes the same trip you were on after a visit to your house. We ALL have a tendency to compare our whole self with other people's presented self. So don't beat yourself up over it, she's far from perfect too.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15546104584847875114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7989676854656500628.post-6372976751596690562012-02-16T05:34:51.002-08:002012-02-16T05:34:51.002-08:00For what it's worth, I happen to think you are...For what it's worth, I happen to think you are superwoman in all the ways that matter. As my good friend told me during one of my mental breakdowns, "No one ever went to therapy because their mother didn't pick up the toys or fold all the laundry." Who cares if you fall short in areas that don't matter in the long run? And yes, you might get in bed sometimes and think, "Man, I sucked today." But I don't believe there is a mother on earth who doesn't occasionally beat herself up. Who's to say this friend of yours doesn't break down crying once a week? (I do! That's what I tell my friend who thinks I "have it together". ha. HA!) You're doing an amazing thing. Really. :)Nathaly Blalockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980342294702876034noreply@blogger.com
