Hi! I am a 30 something mom who has successfully managed to not break either one of my children to date. What does this not qualify me for a award of some kind? This has been accomplished by years of prayer, calling other moms who know what they are doing and that God made my kids sturdy. So every day I have these thoughts on situations that I do not dare say out loud....example : One of my kids says or remark on a person / situation completely being inappropriate. As a good mother I will correct them and discipline them if necessary. Problem sometimes I am thinking what they are saying and have to refrain from laughing at their honesty. Hold on burning dinner! Okay I am back. Other times we will have all of the kids very bestest of friends over at once and it seems that after two hours in another person's home these polite well behaved children feel comfortable enough to be themselves. At this point it seems to be very easy to recognize their parents in them. I love my children with an undying devotion and I'm just trying to provide a normal childhood for them with memories of a perfect mom all the while thinking who put me in charge? I am a basketball, football and cheerleader mom but I am no soccer mom. I am unorganized and go to the grocery store without make-up routinely. I have tried to make a habit of not leaving the house without my hair and make-up done before this resulted in the kids not eating breakfast and being late to school while their homework still laid on the dining room table. This website will house the truths that most women feel at some point or another and my own personal dilemmas of being perfect at motherhood. Make no mistake I would never trade the title of mom for any other but come on ladies it's isn't easy!
