I think I'm getting better at this...
4 months ago
The biggest thing for me was to stop trying to be a perfect parent. Who I am as a mom right now compared to even 6 months ago is so much better. I wanted to let go of all of the unrealistic expectations that I had of my daughters and just let them be kids. I guess I try to be perfect in the sense that my house is OCD clean all of the time, but my kids need freedom to grow and be themselves without me breathing down their necks…I want to be here for them and make them laugh, but also be their mom.
Parenting is such a touching thing because everybody feels there’s a better way, but it feels good to say that I don’t need to be as good of a parent as that woman or my neighbor, ya know?? Sorry for the rambling!!
