Fill in number 1 with your worst Mommy GUILT. I'd love to hear it AND it would help me feel so much better about myself!
uh, i relate with bascially all 19 of yours...you know that :)
ReplyDeletei think my #1 mommy guilt is having to tell them "no" to something they really want to have/do...usually because of the other little kids. makes me wonder--not really, but just in the moment--if they are missing out on life opportunities by having a large family. i know they aren't, i know their life is full and happy and i love them and know them as well as if they were an only child...but the guilt makes me wonder...
We all can relate. (I think) My number one guilt, which I do all of the time, is always saying "come on hurry up, lets go. We are late." I feel like I am always rushing her. Really what is so important?!? I must be so annoying to her when I do this! I have an issue with always wanting to be on time. However, I have been trying to get a little better:) I think age is making me relax a little. Ugh thats a whole other issue!

1. My kid looks cuter than me almost everyday...
ReplyDeleteYou read my mind! I better not even start to list the rest or pick a #1 because there are too many!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I look forward to nap time so I can knit or watch something on TIVO that isn't sesame street or super why.
ReplyDeleteWhen I tell them they cant have candy or another cookie so that I can eat it when they go to sleep! OH THAT'S AWFUL!!! DON'T JUDGE ME!
ReplyDeleteWhen my kid made a behavior chart for me so I could calm down...and I think he was right. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lose my temper and scream at my kids... inevitably, the next day I'll hear someone reminiscing on how wonderful their mother was and how she "never raised her voice."
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing @ Keith's comment! Um I can relate to ALL of them... I never heard anyone say the organized sports one... glad I'm not alone there. I'd have to say mine is yelling.. ugh...it's not even cute or funny... probably the ugliest thing about me!
