Yogis Mommy --- 13 years ago -

Ever feel like you don't deserve yours? :( 

myopinion --- 13 years ago -

Um yes.
sadly I know my boys are WAY to good for me. But then I remember how LUCKY I am. So what I have done to battle the feeling of low self worth.....is TRY HARDER. It usually comes in sweeps. And when I start examineing the areas in our relationship that I feel unsure about, I first feel way overwhelmed. Feel sorry for myself, then pout, then change it up. Its a cycle all moms go through, well all good moms. And it depends on what each persons cycle is like. You dont want to get stuck or not progress. Being a parent is a honor but like all great honors it comes with great responsibility.

I don't even have the words to describe how amazing and wonderful my son is. I really don't. He is absolutely perfect, and I love him more than I ever thought was possible. But. He's mine. And now matter how much I don't deserve him, I'm not giving him up ;-) selfishness is one of my many faults :)

Lol 

Sandra --- 13 years ago -

HELL YEAH I DESERVE MINE! I worked hard to raise those suckers, poured all my blood sweat and tears and am proud as can be to be selfish about it!

I'm not sure how to interpret the OP. "Ever feel like you don't deserve (your bad a-$$ kids?)" or "Ever feel like you don't deserve (your little life-changing angels?)"

lol

As in you feel like a horrible parent even tho you try to be a good one. 

AwesomeSauce --- 13 years ago -

Oh I don't feel like I'm a horrible parent, I just think he's amazing, and I don't see how someone so fantastic came from regular old me lol 

Yogis Mommy --- 13 years ago -

My oldest has adhd and my 19 month old is speech delayed and I am constantly stressed because of it and I just feel like I am failing them both.....not a pitty party, just wondering if there is anyone else out there who feels like a crap parent from time to time or if im alone in that?

My son has severely delayed motorskills, and will be hugely speech delayed when his Trach is removed, but I think I do pretty well. There are definitely days where I feel I didn't do enough with him, but as a whole, I know for a fact I do better than a lot of other people would. When his therapists are surprised that not only am I following their suggestions, but improving on them, I know I'm doing alright, and their usual parents suck. :) I enjoying having a thumbs up from them every now and then. As long as you do what you can, you're good.

As a parent of 2 grown kids, yes in the long run I feel I deserve them. They have both grown to be responsible adults, able to get by on their own, and love their family, but back in the day, yeah there were times. 

Katena --- 13 years ago -

I have six boys 18,13,10, 7,6,2 speech issues my 7 yr has PPDNOS and has had a few days where I want to scream. I am blessed and have worked my behind off. My older 3 boys were god sends as well as my 6 yr old. My 7 yr old who is on the has a few issues delayed speech social sometimes is a pill but has cam a long way. it is a hard job being a parent and especially in the military where we do it about 90% alone you can have days that feel like will it ever end. Be blessed that you have these little ones in your life.

My oldest two have issues with hearing, speech, and autism. Sometimes I feel that way. But then I remind myself I can't just snap my fingers and make it all go away or change anything over night, as much as I want to.
