Bad Day

I guess the title sounds harsh, but it is true. And nothing even really happened. I am just struggling with a child who will remain anonymous. A child that I love so much and absolutely adore, but can make me have feelings I have never experienced before.(in a bad way) I don't even know why I am writing about this other then I just want to. Does anybody else struggle with their kids. I am at a lost. I don't know what to do anymore. I find myself ignoring him in hopes he wont notice I am there and wont talk to me. That sounds so horrible but it is true. How do I get out of this rut? Somebody Help me!

On a cuter note:
Me: "Drew will you go get Elle a tissue?"
Drew "Here Elle, here is your tennis shoe"

Oh no, you are not the only one. I feel that way . . . a lot espically when they are misbehaving and nothing you do seems to work. Thanks for letting Stevie come play last night. She had a great time, we will have to get them together more often.

I totally understand! I was sooo happy to leave last night because Reid just whined ever since he woke up from his nap and I HATE whining! Anyway, we'll have to talk about it later and figure out what this anonymous childs' deal is.

First of all- you are the cutest mom- every mom feels the same way you do. I've decied being a mom is the hardest thing in the world! I honestly have to say though that your child is adorable and I love him. He has such a fun personality and great imagination! I know exactly how you feel- I have a pumpkin who is rarely out of character and has once told me that he wants to push me in to glass. HuH? I'm pretty sure he didn't pick that up from Curious George. Columbine anyone? Anyway, don't stress and I'm sorry I just wrote you a novel.

Hang in there Paige! I completely know how you feel! Of course you know that, though. You were like a second mom to my little crazy man. These little guys can be SO challenging and then so adorable the next minute. Being a mom really is a roller coaster. I'm sure an "up" is headed your way! Love you!

We may be witnessing a case of getting what you did. And, you have to admit that anonymous kid is very handsome. Maybe he (well, assuming its a he) just needs some diversions.

I remember a certain anonymous little girl who required some fair amount of special attention who grew up to be a beautiful lady who is a wonderful wife, mom, and person.

"Is this we club, Daddy?"

Amber said...

You are a great mom, hang in there. Who knew being a mom could be so tough, and yet so fulfilling at the same time?
Smile and go get a pedicure!

I can't say that I have any spectacular advice - just that I hear ya - you're definitely not the only one. Hope tomorrow is better :)

i love that your parents feel like you totally deserve difficult times with your kids. were you really that bad? ha! i wonder what we will all be saying to our kids someday. i'm sure the compilation of everything going on makes things more difficult. you're doing a great job.

I don't know if you're getting what you deserve or not, but I do know that a certain child's father was a handful at that age and he turned out to be one amazing guy! Hang in there!
Love,
Connie
