Is it JUST me or do you think about a certain something often - very often. I used to think I was just overly critical of myself but it seems most mom's think often about being a good mom, often. It's like this - my kiddos will be wild & crazy at a store....at the moment, I want to run & tackle them, read them their rights & drag them out of the store. Instead, I call them with that "I want to scream at you but I'm in a public place" voice....you know the one. And it's like they know you can't lay into them because (again) you're in a public place.
Then I think later - what was I doing? Did I really need to react? Was I too hard on them? Do I ask too much of them? Am I too demanding? On & on.....the obsessive part!
Drives me crazy - my kids will say "I'm sorry Mom." I try to explain that I don't really want the 'I'm sorry' & I prefer the listening ears, listening children. As much as they drive me crazy, I look forward to our pre-bed snuggle.
In the end, just love 'em - they drive you absolutely crazy....they are our kiddos.
Does this drive YOU crazy or obsessed? Or, what's your obsession?
