I am a bad parent....
There are no set rules as to who is a good parent and who is not....but one thing I know is that Iam not doing enough for my kids.May be I can save my face quoting many reasons,but that does not allow me to be unaccountable for what I do not do and what i do.This was not always the same.I was content with my role as a mother ,for about nine months,to be exact...yes,till my daughter was nine months old.I concieved my son then,and my instant feeling was that of guilt.I thought I was being unjust to my daughter....depriving her of many things due...abortion was suggested to me by many,but the very word was beyond my realms of perspective...and i believed that there was always enough love within me to go around...my initial confusions gave way to a hopeful wait...how were I to know that it was something that would change the whole me...(to be continued......)

How much ever u do for ur kids u feel inadequate.I think that is the best attitude a best mom can have sumi.I'm sure u had been doing great.But u r too humble to realise that.U will see the results of ur hard work blooming.wait.it will take some time.I am going to manage kids and home alone for the second time.I had been pampering myself a bit lately.I think time has called for serious work at home.My in laws are going back.
ReplyDeletei hope you manage well nis...but dont push yourelf too hard....find quality time for yourself as well.only a happy mum can rear happy kids.Iknow its difficult,but let us try not to pour our negative emotions on to our kids....
ReplyDeletei did it on will.Thought about it for years.weighed the pros and cons.Pros outweighed the cons.Some things need to be worked out.And i am working on quality time.I was very much running short of that.Not willing to be like that any more.Enough is enough.If it turns out good well and good.Otherwise i might work out an alternative.Shouldn't be running out of options.I was never.I love the way u call me-Nis.What a friendly touch it has.
