* Do you feel this way, parents ?
I dont cook every single meal and I feel guilty about that as well.
Im always analyzing my parenting so I can be better
anyone else does this on a regular basis?
Answers:
First of all, I don't trust any parent with a spotless house! What are the kids doing while they spend all that time cleaning? Watching Spongebob?
Yes, I beat myself up often, wondering whether I am doing the most wholesome activities with my kids 24/7. I feel like my second born doesn't get the attention my first did. I wonder if they get enough exercise time, reading time, together time, alone time... I wonder how I've let 5 years slip by without teaching them Spanish like I had planned.
Truth is, when I really just relax and look at the families around me, I realize that the love and the time we spend together is all they need to thrive, even excel. My "neglected" child amazed me when he cut a "perfect" circle with scissors the other day- I never taught him that; it's just proof that he benefits from the things I do with big sister. And my first born always amazes me with her kindness; again- not from any lessons I've taught her, just from the kindness we share at home.
You're doing an awesome job. Don't beat yourself up about it. The housework isn't going anywhere, but the next five years of your children's lives will fly by!
I think you're never gonna be a great parent if you keep stressing over things like that. As long as you love them, what difference does it make if the meals aren't homemade and the house is a little dirty?
