How'd she do that?

This question has been running through my mind a lot lately. How did my mom do it? Raise 4 kids, never complain, never let us kids know how hard it really was, etc.

Motherhood is so challenging. Kaja is giving me a run for my money now. She is demanding, bossy, and wants things done her way "right now". On top of all that, she asks me one million questions an hour. I find my patience wearing so thin. Jaxon is sick with a little cold and his teeth are coming in. So he's cranky, needy, and clingy.

So again, how did my mom do it and remain sane?

I had those feelings too. You just didn't notice.

You are a great mom! Honestly, it's human nature to have feelings that you aren't up to your HIGH standards. Give yourself and break. Just make sure you tell them you love them everyday.

i have no idea. get a babysitter.

ha ha, yesterday was my day like this. tuesday she was sick, yesterday she was grumpy and her fussiness got SO old by the time evening came. it's hard. i think you are extremely patient though andrea. you are a good mom. kaja has a big personality. remember that is why we all love her so much!
