As I was sitting outside yesterday watching my youngest two play in their grandparents backyard, I wondered to myself....
What would people say if I told them that I didn't want to be a mom anymore?
Not that I really BELIEVE this statement, but the thought slips in sometimes...
like when DH is on drill, AT, or off at some other training and I am alone with my kids and they are trying my patience.
like in the middle of the night when all I want to do is sleep and the kids are tag teaming on no sleep.
like when the kids keep disrespecting me or hubby. All I want to do is SWAK them a great one with some sense!
like when I am sick. A mom is never able to be sick.
like when my family points out all the things that I do wrong as a mom. This is an everyday occurrence. Really. It's aweful.
like when potty-training.
like when I have teenagers.
like when my depression gets the best of me.
Like I said, I love my kids more than my life, but a person can only take so much. The thing that is the worst is the daily hearing from family and friends of how I am screwing up and doing things wrong. I have yet to meet a perfect kid or a perfect parent.
