Life no matter how hard we try to keep positive, it's still not perfect or even pretty. I think it's great that you recognize that raising kids and being a parent, especially a stay at home mom isn't always easy.<br /><br />The only advice I can offer (and again, this coming from someone who isn't a parent but who has a pretty demanding life) is maybe you need to carve out some time for yourself. Join a club or group of Moms who are going through the same thing Or even just spend a couple of hours by yourself doing something you enjoy. <br /><br />You'll see that over time, making yourself a priority for a few hours will not only re-charge your batteries but your kids and hubby will reap the benefits as well.<br /><br />Hang in there, Julie! :) <br />Love, <br />MalissaMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599198052046018283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583672216566631732.post-57731584398306326022010-02-12T04:57:23.106-07:002010-02-12T04:57:23.106-07:00Oh, sorry that you're feeling like this--I get...Oh, sorry that you're feeling like this--I get it often. You're a wonderful parent. First evidence: your boys are alive; you haven't killed them while feeling this way. ;) Because sometimes I wonder if that is a valid option. Okay, so not really. But ONE boy is trying. I can't imagine that times THREE! My boy never thanked me for changing his diaper. But he did just last night tell me he loves me "more than your nose is bigger than your eyes!" He's great for my self-esteem, I tell ya. Hang in there. It can't get much worse, right?!koreen (aka: winn)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00988838659415402046noreply@blogger.com
