Really they want to trick others into having kids so that they have somebody to secretly console with. Kids are evil. All of them. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. <BR/><BR/>The truth is out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503615.post-1160868047891650992006-10-14T18:20:00.000-05:002006-10-14T18:20:00.000-05:00I remember you telling me several times that you w...I remember you telling me several times that you were born to be a mother. Don't doubt that. <BR/>It may be going rough these days, and that is discouraging, but it will come to an end. You just need to be patient. <BR/>Take some time for yourself -- if need be, use that time in the middle of the night when you can't sleep. <BR/>Most of all, be kind to yourself ... telling yourself negative thoughts & putting yourself down only makes it harder. One of my college prof.s would say something along the lines of: 'Guilt only has a purpose if it motivates you to change'. So, if it's not a source of motivation, lose the guilt. You're the only one who can hear your thoughts -- so be cocky & praise yourself for all that you accomplish -- being a mom is a tough job.<BR/>Be true to yourself. Be happy.<BR/><BR/>I wish you were close enough to reach out and give you a hug.JBTWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608563828128506017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503615.post-1160851782952783962006-10-14T13:49:00.000-05:002006-10-14T13:49:00.000-05:00Honey, you are not an evil mother. You are just a ...Honey, you are not an evil mother. You are just a mom who is trying to do her best, and Rose is just a four year old who can't think of anyother way of expressing her feeling. <BR/><BR/>She will grow out of it, you will grow more confident in your ability to be a mother and one day you can bring up all the obnoxious things she said and did when her prom date shows up to take her out. <BR/><BR/>Try video taping her in a rage and let her see how rediculous she really sounds and maybe she'll try another tactic. If it doesn't work, it'll make for great humilating home movies when she's older!Suzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996943669563221097noreply@blogger.com
