I can't help but reflect on what my father has said to me this week. His comments keep running through my mind. Am I a bad mother? Am I a bad wife? Am I as horrible as he says I am? GAH I hope not. I'm sure I am hard on the boys, harder than I should be. I do yell. I do spank. I do procrastinate my duties. The kids do drive me nuts from time to time. All this doesn't change the fact that I love them more than I can ever describe and would do anything for them (within reason of course, Colton did recently ask for a real parachute to jump out of a plane). I bathe them, I feed them, I play with them, I help them with things they want to do, I talk to them, the list goes on... What am I forgetting!? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here. I want my children to be happy, fun, caring people. What am I doing wrong!? It is obvious I'm in need of some therapy at the moment. BUT I can't afford therapy, so I have this blog......

Oh dear you are doing NOTHING wrong!!!! I feel the same way you do some days. I think we lead very similar lives and I know people say I am doing wrong by my children. I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong and I go over it and over it. Sure maybe I procrastinate but that doesn't make me a bad parent. My son is in line and so is my daughter. They are healthy, happy, clean, and loved. I have had so much critisism over the years and still get it now and in all these years I have decided that of all the things that are important for my kids those four things are the most important. If you can say those four things then you are doing just fine in my book because damn it some kids don't get love or bathed or fed regularly and I think as long as those three are done you are gonna have one happy child. Your kiddos are adorable and happy and goodness look at your little girl and you know they are well fed. Don't let the jerks get you down! You are a wonderful mother!
P.S. I say you are a wonderful wife too! If you were my wife I wouldn't have anything to complain about! If you are slacking anywhere that's gonna happen. Shit you are expected to do everything! You can't. You're not a superhero.
Love You!
