Once I stopped comparing myself to every other mother that I knew I feel like I relaxed a whole lot more and could just focus on being a good mother for Caleb. Plus I think that as women we so often compare our worst to everyone else's best when the truth is, we're all just trying every day to be the best we can be, some days are just a little easier than others!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kirstyandseth.%20blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">kirstyandseth.blogspot.co.uk</a>Kirsty and Sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14762529324617063332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893515133765667462.post-48964446836306691802014-05-25T19:42:08.420-06:002014-05-25T19:42:08.420-06:00I love love love this!I love love love this!A Thousand Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078752583003370909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893515133765667462.post-2435951122578601232014-05-24T06:05:04.329-06:002014-05-24T06:05:04.329-06:00Aw I just saw your series!!

People comparing themselves to those people who do party planning for a living, or have the extra time to spend 60+ hours making crafts for their kids parties! <br /><br />I didn't have mommy guilt until maybe a couple of weeks ago? When my son was having meltdowns because I wanted to go to the gym and he hates the gym daycare...we have almost solved that issue, phew. But up until then I didn't really know what people were talking about. <br /><br />Hopefully everyone can stop comparing and just see how great our kids are!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761800593624814611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893515133765667462.post-54176428138489627682014-05-22T14:43:42.877-06:002014-05-22T14:43:42.877-06:00Weaning definitely brought back my post partum iss...Weaning definitely brought back my post partum issues again.

I just get inside my own head and think, I should have let that go today, or I am frustrated with this or that. I didn't really experience too much "mommy guilt" until I had my second. Then I just felt like I had to manage my attention more. Thank you for sharing your story though. This mom thing is a tough gig ;) KelseyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365843782648837158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893515133765667462.post-61939621988611400722014-05-22T11:36:04.765-06:002014-05-22T11:36:04.765-06:00Such a great post!

Or at least I shouldn't be so hard on myself. Mason is happy, healthy, and loves me. He shows me he does when he runs to me and gives me a huge hug and kiss when I get home from work. And if that's not enough to make you feel like an amazing mom, I don't know what is. xoElizabeth [Chasin' Mason]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15755393907480303868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893515133765667462.post-44106275743949495192014-05-22T09:15:00.636-06:002014-05-22T09:15:00.636-06:00AMEN to that! ps... we need to get together soon! ...AMEN to that! ps... we need to get together soon!
