vent : so i have cousins that think im "losing" myself because i am a mom now. being a mom comes first for me before anything and anyone. these cousins dont have kids yet. if "losing myself " means i leave early from family events or dont drink as much or doesnt want anyone babysitting my kid the entire time im with my family, so be it. they dont understand and personally i feel offended simply because they DONT know what they are talking about. they dont know the guilt they dont understand the love they dont understand what motherhood is period. me and mine come first. ultimately I DO WHAT I WANT and i choose tending to my family. i dont feel like i am missing out on anything :s
i know people dont fully think about the situation @sarah433 you did whats rignt for you and your kids. thats all that matters
I know how you feel, last night we were having a Christmas party with all my cousins, and it was supposed too start at 5 so I was going to go for a few hours. They pushed it to start at 7 and they are all mad that I decided not to go with my three kids. They all wanted to see my baby, but I'm not going to drag my kids out for when they feel like going when none of them have kids. It's frustrating
I agree with @tlistboom you know what's best. My girlfriend came over for Christmas and told me I'm becoming and old lady because I didn't stay up with her and drink all night both nights. First night I stayed up and ha two drinks and baked my turkey etc.. I have a house to run I cannot be up all night drinking and have a 2 month old baby 😒😫. Do you @spratalie and the rest can put a zip on it lol
perfect description of how most moms feel
