So sometimes I have to care for kids all day without a break, most notably, Bram is in my arms more than he is out of them. Thats life, but it's also something that I really get tired of. I just don't want the full time mom job some days. I feel guilty that I don't want the full time mom job. But it's just a feeling. It's a normal and understandable feeling. I suspect that most mothers out there have those moments.
For my next observation, I'll mention the bothersome tendency to offer unsolicited advice. I get so annoyed when people try to fix my problems by offering me what I am sure they think is the perfect information for my situation. I know their intentions are wonderful and caring. I know this because of all the advice givers out there, I am the worst! Ok so there may be a worse one out there, but I'm pretty bad about it. I know that I mean well, but it does not make it ok. I continue to work on becoming more aware of this trait, hopefully to overcome it altogether someday. For now my rule is I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE ADVICE! I can forgive myself if I do, but I must acknowledge it and apologize and move on!
