However, I have decided that as long as I am truly basing my decisions on what is best for my children, then I am being a good mom. Don't let the guilt overtake you! It's so easy to do, but focus on the things that you think make you a great mom.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209766205633745861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869714955172158774.post-18560133729571219012011-03-11T10:06:56.324-05:002011-03-11T10:06:56.324-05:00It's rough when you have to send your child to...It's rough when you have to send your child to daycare, but you do what you have to do.

Sending B to dayca...Mitzi, you are an amazing mom! Sending B to daycare is good for him for the exact reasons you and Lance are doing it! And he loves it, so don't question it! <br /><br />Do you all go to a church? That's the easiest way to meet other moms with kids the same age who have similar interests, and often churches coordinate play groups/mom groups. Otherwise, maybe story time at your closest branch of the public library or if you go to a park at the same time regularly, maybe other families who do the same will catch on and bond. <br /><br />I know it's hard to see when you feel so emotionally attached to the dream in your head of perfection, but you are doing a perfect job at being a loving mom and trying to do the right thing for your family. It may be different than what other families do, but that doesn't make it wrong!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17321875924116189299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869714955172158774.post-55495900038277691922011-03-10T11:41:57.878-05:002011-03-10T11:41:57.878-05:00Ok, first of all you are an amazing mother!!! No ...Ok, first of all you are an amazing mother!!! No doubt about that, I don't even know you face to face and I know you are a wonderful mom.<br />Second, I agree that its nice for kids to have play groups, Social interaction of some kind even if it daycare. <br />I long to be a SAHM more than I can say. One day I will make it happen, I promise myself. However. Right now Cooper goes to Mrs. Janet's 4 days a week. I feel bad making him go there but he truly LOVES it. He doesn't cry when I leave he says "YAY" when we get there. I know he's happy and loved and he's getting what he needs. I feel guilty not being with him all day but I know God would push me that direction more when its time. <br />I can't fix your questions or concerns but I can say from one mom to another, that as long as you think hard and then make a decision, pray about it and ask for God to help point you in the right direction, that you will be making the decision that was meant to be made. You are putting your son first or else it wouldn't be so hard to make these decisions. Your a fabulous mom. :)<br /><br />I wish I lived there and we could have play dates. I think our boys could be best friends. They would get into all sorts of troubles I'm sure but hey that's a boy for you :)Meant to be a momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593510601585009840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869714955172158774.post-33703234760695616512011-03-10T11:30:10.943-05:002011-03-10T11:30:10.943-05:00Been there and still there. All of those feelings ...Been there and still there. All of those feelings will never change. Think of it this way, if you had B home all the time with you and you had one night out with friends to have a well deserved break, wouldnt you still feel guilty? No matter what you do, you will always feel guilty if you aren't with your babes 24/7... its a moms nature and its perfectly normal. But you should enjoy time alone. Sounds like you are taking on a lot of responsibility around the house and while you could do it all, if you have the offered help why not take it? You are a great mom, and B DEFINITELY needs interaction with other kids so just remember that!B Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355582761039013864noreply@blogger.com
