I haven't stopped by your blog in awhile...Kim,<br /><br />I haven't stopped by your blog in awhile, but God brought me here today for a reason. I am experiencing some of the same feelings and struggles you are; you are NOT alone. I find myself feeling alone a lot these days, but it's good to know you are out there feeling the same way. Thanks for sharing this with us.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />MalloryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823436252188879659.post-10419161739578268062010-11-15T16:27:31.448-06:002010-11-15T16:27:31.448-06:00You are definitely not alone.
Most days, this i...You are definitely not alone. <br /><br />Most days, this is exactly how my day unfolds. It is sooo hard to not compare yourself to other moms. I have to keep reminding myself that I'm almost positive that's a fake grin they're wearing and their kids also have major meltdowns during the day.<br /><br />I DO love being a mommy, but noone ever told me how hard it actually is. It would be nice if I had family that helped out and encouraged (my husband IS the best help, but he works...long hours sometimes).<br /><br />Anyway, don't mean to complain, but just wanted to let you know I can completely emphathize with you!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09342116408455413284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2823436252188879659.post-36062652558343176002010-11-14T07:39:11.071-06:002010-11-14T07:39:11.071-06:00Oh, definitely do not feel alone in those feelings...Oh, definitely do not feel alone in those feelings! And go ahead and cry. I always feel better after a good cry!<br /><br />I was just talking with another mom in our playgroup yesterday about my similar feelings and she felt the exact same way... and then her aunt who was also there said she felt the same way when her kids were younger.<br /><br />Parenting is hard work and if you have to steal a nap instead of cleaning... go for it. It's impossible to keep our house clean haha. As soon as I start picking toys up my son is dragging new ones out of his room. :)Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485678756515392177noreply@blogger.com
