vent : so i have cousins that think im "losing" myself because i am a mom now. being a mom comes first for me before…

Those who are not in the same position as you, have no say as to how you choose to mother. Don't let those get you angry/upset .. take a breath and know you are "momming" the way that is best for you and yours.

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

i was so irritated! thanks guys. @tlistboom @starting_over39

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

Like u said, they don't understand and if being responsible bothers them then there is something more wrong with them. keep up the good job

thank you ! :) @pnutbutta

i know people dont fully think about the situation @sarah433 you did whats rignt for you and your kids. thats all that matters

perfect description of how most moms feel
