I know everyone has a bad day. But today, well, was my REALLY bad day. It was the kind of day that has you thinking that you are "the" worst Mother in the history of all Mothers.
Really. It was that bad of a day.
This Mother gig is a tough one. I have never really doubted in my abilities to do anything until i became a Mother. No amount of book reading about 'how' to be a Mother can truly prepare you for actually BEING a Mother. Being a Mother shows you just how little patience you can have on some days. Being a Mother teaches you how to be humble....and it also teaches you just how much you love this child of yours. It truly is a love like no other....and it makes me miss my Mother that much more. I only realize now just how much my Mother must have loved me because i love Emma that much.
Tomorrow, will be better....but for now, for tonight, i'm going to go to bed and pull the covers up over my head and hide. And i'll probably cry because i want so badly to talk to MY Mother about today.
Yes, tomorrow will be better, but i'll still miss my Mother just as much.

You are a wonderful Mommy! We, unfortunately, all have those days and satan just wants to take those emotions and run with them and make you feel guilty and awful. But, thankfully, God's mercies are new EVERY morning and He will help you make today a great day!! (And I am sorry you miss your Mom! It must be so hard! I'm saying a little prayer for you right. now!
Love you, Girlie!!

My dear friend, I have so felt like a bad Mom and I also believe that nothing prepares you for this role in life. Nothing is as fulfilling or as frustrating! I can be here to talk if you need to talk! I know that is no substitute for your Mom but it may help a little. Thinking of you!
You're not a bad mommy, your a normal human being. EVERYONE has a bad day. Dont' beat yourself up over it. And trust me, Emma won't be scarred for life!
What an honest post!
We all have those days of lost patience, bad moods and snap behavior. We are a work in progress too! You are a wonderful mommy!!!
awww, i leave a unhappy Mommy and come back here to read my comments and i'm leaving here a HAPPY Mommy because of my dear friends!
Thank you so much for the kind words...they mean a lot to me! :)
I hope you've had some better days since you posted this. Trust me, as your friends have said, everyone has days where they just want to resign from the job of being a mom. You are not alone in this - you have lots of mommy friends who love you and who have been there. I'm not close by (heck we've never actually met) but I think about you often. You're doing a great job as Emma's mommy. God brought the 2 of you together because He knew you'd be the perfect mom for her.
I have certainly had these before...sometimes more than once in a day, sometimes multiple days in a row. Miss you! When are we having lunch?
You are not a bad mommy, no matter what happened! You are a WONDERFUL mommy! Everyone has a bad day sweetie! :)
I am sure it is hard without you mom and miss her everyday! HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Issy....tomorrow WILL be better...and...I was cocky and confident about my skill set UNTIL I became a mommy! Then, all the reading, studying, and listening could not prepare me for those challenges which makes me feel like a failure! But...those little buggers are loving and THANKFULLY forgiving!!
We all have those days : ( I miss my mom so much too and now that I am a parent it is amazing how much she loved me and I wish I had acknowledged that ..especially when I was a teenager LOL
