Do me a favor, will you? Leave a comment below telling any mom who is reading this that you've had moments like this too. Or if you're feeling particularly outgoing and up for the challenge, make your comment more of a note with a scenario where you felt this way, and what was the thing your child did next that got you out of your funk and reminded you that you are home with your little one for a reason and that you really do treasure your time together!
This afternoon I had another one of those moments where I asked myself, am I really cut out for this whole work at home mom thing? Staying at home is hard! Being the one trying to meet ALL your child's (or children's!) needs - being an interpreter, a chef, a maid, a teacher, a playmate, an entertainer, not to mention what your actual "real" job description is - is hard! The thing is, I think we all think to ourselves "I can't believe I'm questioning my decision to be here with my child, what kind of mom am I?" We feel guilty in those moments where we feel frustrated and overwhelmed (and maybe like there's no way out!), and we also feel alone. Well, I'm here to tell you that you are not alone! Even that mom you hang out with once in a while who seems to do it all and just totally have her sh*t together (yeah, I know you have a friend who just popped into your head just now), yeah, even she feels this way sometimes. You are not alone. Talk to your friends about it when you have a day like this (or even if it is just an afternoon like this) and know that it doesn't make you a bad mom. It doesn't even set you apart from any other mom on the block.
