Bad mom

Does anyone else ever feel like they are just a horrible mom. I am having such a bad day and I just feel like I have failed totally and I am a bad mom.  

all the time but then I think tomorrow is a new day.

Aw mama, I think we all have those days. The fact that you care enough to feel that way shows that you're probably a great mom!

All the time. Most recently because DD keeps talking about her "smurfin milk" or "smurfin punkins". I always feel like DD could be eating better, that she might behave better if I took a different approach, my home could be better, we could be a happier family, blah!

But then, after begging, DD wraps her little arms around me for a hug and gives me a kiss and I know that she is happy and that's all that matters. And I'm sure your child(ren) feels the same way.  

I felt like that Thursday night, my son had his shots and was miserable and screamed for hours. Nothing I did would comfort him, I felt horrible and eventually after hours of him screaming I just put him down and had to walk away and tell my husband he had to go try to comfort him for an hr so I could get away from him for a bit.

My almost 5 year old had a HUGE freak out today. I have never seen him act like this. He was hitting and kicking me and throwing things at me, it was horrible. I've just been so overwhelmed lately, I'm here by myself with both kids. I am suffering from horrible insomnia, I am completely exhausted all day but am wide awake all night. I just feel like I am failing my kids.

I feel like that all the time actually smh  

I'm having one of those days too. I think we all have them. If you care enough to worry about if you are being a good mom then I bet chances are you're a great mom. A bad mom wouldn't care.

You are not a bad mom! You sound tired. Exhaustion is no joke. I am sure after you get some much needed rest, you will be thinking more clearly and feel much better! I hope you get some good sleep soon, momma <3
