I just think there shouldn't even be perfect as a title because, honestly, that's where all the confusion and tears started. Were cavemen perfect? What is perfect? I think, that you should just have fun with your children, and enjoy being a mother for as long as you can(which is usually when they start saying things like "f*** off, I'm of legal age and, now, I get to live MY life according to MY standards!" ... also, material things aren't important. I was showered in toys, food, clothes, ext. ... for almost my entire life up to this point and it made no difference! The only thing that made the difference, was the fact that I had extra-cirricular activities taken away when we went broke. But, in actuality, I wouldn't have been so caught up in those extra-cirricular outlets, had my 'parents' not been so caught up in teaching me that money makes the world go around and love doesn't cost a thing... they've done the best they can but, unfortunately, they are of the "big shot" population *sigh* If I could change just one thing, I'd wish they had had me earlier on in life, because that way they wouldn't rush me now, when it comes to wanting me to establish myself before they die...

There is always
something we could have done better or could do better. No one is perfect, so why should mothers be expected to be?

Parenting can be frustrating, depressing, saddening, happy, joyful and generally an emotional chaotic time of life and one often wishes there was an instruction manual attached to each new baby!

I don't judge
| I'm here for you. All we can do as parents is learn as we go. I did find a website that might be of help for you. http://www.sensorynation.com/index.html Keep Writing and Smiling "And I - I took the road less travelled by, And that has made all the difference. " - Robert Frost, 1874 –1963. |

Honey, I am with you 100%. I'm not saying, yes, I understand you, no. I'm saying yes, I live every day the same way, no car, no money, no food, this month, and so on and so forth. I feel bad that you have to be berated for voicing your feelings. I agree, this should be a sanctuary, but opinions are like assholes...everybody has one. I love you for being a small mirror for me to look into, and for being a
good mom...and I know the doubt and the guilt that prevents you from believing it. I may never feel it's validity, but I try every day to find a good thing about me, to offset it.
