What The Fuck????

This morning was rough. Half my kids managed to get themselves into trouble before 8:00 a.m. One of them has been getting in trouble for the silliest of things. This morning, it was lying about what she had for breakfast. Why would she lie about that? Why? What am I doing wrong that makes it so that my kids think that it is ok for them to lie to me?


The other one has to taken to lying by omission. A new concept that I had to explain to her. Just because you are not outright lying about something does not make it ok to leave out important details.

Oh. My. God. What am I doing wrong? I wish I knew what to do. I don't want to be a bad Mom....that would just prove everyone right. I am sure that there are people out there who have been waiting for 14 years for me to fuck up my kids. I guess I could understand if I was out-right a shitty parent but I really am trying.

What do you do when your best is not good enough? How do you respond to single, childless men giving you parenting pointers? What do you do when there is so much going on that you can't say anything at all because it really just proves that you are in over your head? And to think....I still have 2 more to fuck up.... :(

Ok so I am going to comment before I read the next post!!

You need to stop worrying about everybody else, or what single childless men think! I told you before, you are the Mom and I know you, you are a good Mom. Children will always try and test the limits. That seams to be there job! Every mom out there has bad days, where they think that they aren't doing a good job, but I know your kids and they are polite well behaved children, they are kind, helpfull and loving and that is all because of you my friend. DONT FORGET THAT!

Love your friend
