Do you ever have those days where your head hits the pillow and you realize that you could have done better?
Yesterday was one of those days for me. I felt like I could have been a much better mom. I feel like I was slow to reach out to my little boy and I couldn't do anything to comfort him. I had different errands and project I needed to complete, and I felt like those turned into my priority. I feel like even Riggins knew he was put on the back burner yesterday. He cried a little longer and was fed a little quicker and was ignored a little more. Poor kid. I just felt like I was trying to force him to play with things he didn't want to play with for longer than he wanted to play with them so I could get things done. After we finished the bedtime routine, had family prayers and put him in his crib, I went to lay down in my bed and I felt this sick feeling of regret. Sure, I met most of his needs and he wasn't starving or super neglected during the day, but I think he needed some more mommy time. I listened to my thoughts and I grabbed him from his crib and we snuggled for awhile longer.
I don't know if he needed it or if I just needed it, but it didn't matter. We both loved it. It's amazing how one wrong move can make moms (or any woman) feel like a failure so quickly. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones still hanging around, or maybe it's the importance of the task of raising a little human, but no matter what it is it's important to not dwell on it.
I'll do better today little guy.
This is so true. I remember feeling these feelings all the time. You will have more of those days and learning how to balance errands and family will get easier!Awesome post.
