We as parents are often told we should be grateful. We should appreciate the gift we have in them. So easy in theory but not very fair. It’s not that we aren’t grateful.
Just sometimes parenting isn’t always easy. Sometimes we need a break and that’s not wrong. Sometimes we may want to scream at them. Sometimes we may joke child for sale. Or like today when I said A is a butthead because guess what she was doing things on purpose that were a little annoying on purpose.
Sometimes as mothers we feel guilty if we complain about pregnancy because we are lucky to get pregnant. That’s not okay either, pregnancy isn’t always easy. For some it’s down right painful. We all handle things differently, what isn’t hard for one person may be for another. I had 24/7 “morning” sickness my entire pregnancy with M. That was hell. I had to be so careful about everything I ate. I hated pregnancy. It wasn’t a walk in the park the first time with N and A either. That had its own issues.
We should be open and honest about our feelings but we shouldn’t attack or make someone feel guilty because that’s we feel. We should be respectful of how others feel. We should understand we all have are own struggles as parents. We should support each other and spread love. We should know that sometimes we have to go to a safe place and unload our anger, our fears, our jealousy, our frustrations instead of taking it out on someone else.
