How do I stop feeling like a failure?
How can I stop having such impossibly high standards for myself?
I’m tired of comparing myself to other moms and wondering how do they do it all.
How do I stop caring how other people judge me?
I have such high standards for myself as a mom.
Too high.
So when things go wrong (and boy do they go wrong) I blame myself and then feel like I’m failing.
What do you do when parenthood doesn’t go as planned?
Where and how are we even getting our definition of what parenthood is “supposed” to look like?
Listen today to hear:
-
how to cope when you’re feeling frustrated that things don’t seem to be going as you always dreamed they would, or how things seem to be going for everyone else around you.
-
I open up about how parenthood has not gone as planned for Chris and I
-
how I found out that Baby A can now open the doors in our house
-
why I got a $75 fine for celebrating Chris’s birthday,
-
and the best non-advice my Dr. gave me before leaving the hospital with the big boys (spoiler: it made Chris really mad).
Be sure to join the private Parents Who group if you want to really start moving away from the things about motherhood that drive you crazy and move towards the things that make you feel more peaceful and happy (i.e. alone time!)
