Today is one of the hard days. I've lost my temper multiple times and locked myself in the bathroom to cry when it all got to be too much. I've considered leaving the house and never coming back (though not seriously).
I've said many times that this blog is for the girls. This is their baby book. While I love to focus on the positive things (of which there are many), I also want this to be real and reflect all aspects of their childhood. I want the girls to know that it's not all sunshine and lollipops. If and when they become mothers, I want them to know that their mom struggled some days too...that it's normal to struggle...that it's okay to struggle.
So there's my admission. Some days I suck at being a mom. Some days just suck. And that's okay.

You don't suck! We all have those days. Trust me. (((HUGS)))
That is such a cute picture!!
YES!! Some days we just feel like running away because we feel we have failed at motherhood.
Even on your bad days, your girls love you. And so do we.
I think every mom has those days! The photo is adorable. Chin up!!
It is so hard to write about the hard times but so good to reflect and get it out. And you are right, it will be good for them to see that it is normal to have a rough day. I am sorry you are having a rough one. Do something for yourself tonight after the girls are in bed...bubble bath, glass of wine, reading in a quiet place...a big piece of dessert, an extra workout...whatever makes you feel better. And know that tomorrow is a fresh start!
We are all in this together. Yes, some days do suck, and we all have some of those days. Hang in there! Tomorrow will be better :-)
Doing your own time-outs?Some pretty repetitive things as a mom of 2 under 2.You must miss Chelsey this week-being back on your own during the day.I think my mom read abook or played cards when we were all demanding of her time and she was tired of repeating herself.The girls look sweet together-
I have to time myself out too!
It's so nice to hear I'm not the only one who has days like these - feel better for sure!!
Not ever day is perfect, but there are more perfect days than bad.
Yes we all need a time out, because being a parent is not easy.It is a learning process.
You are doing the right thing when you know you have reached your limit by taking a time out.
You are a Good Mom
We love you
xoxo
You know you're not alone, right? And normal, normal, normal. And I only have one! ;) I love the honesty, and know for sure that it's hard to write. But it not only is great for your girls to see one day, but also for other moms to see! You are fabulous!
You're not always perfect and they won't always be good days, but your girls will still love you and that makes all the bad days worth it. Hugs to you.
Some days do suck. But you don't suck. Just that day does. Everyone has one of those days. Writing about the hard stuff helps get through it.
