I would like to blog more but I struggle with what I feel is pressure to either love or hate parenting.
I love my kids and I’m pretty sure that anyone that has ever met us would say we love each other. But parenting is HARD!
Just like my kids don’t like me everyday I don’t like them everyday. People have bad days.
I want to share my story but often I don’t feel ‘perky’ enough to blog. And if you have ever met me perky is not a word to describe me.
I’m drole and sarcastic. I roll my eyes when my 5yo asks to read Dr. Seuss to me. My eyes roll to the back of my head when the kids want to tell me a story. I nod my head instead of listen because some days I just don’t care what my kid learned today.
And I’m super proud of them. They are in great school programs, at the top of their activities and everyone (but their siblings) find them a complete joy.
It’s not that I have something to say. It’s that if I speak the truth maybe others around me will too. And instead of making this parenting job harder we should have each others back.
Oh – and I do have your back and probably a bottle of wine too!
