Motherhood
So lately I have been feeling like I have been failing at my motherly duties. Sure my kids are feed, clean, cuddled and loved. But my house is in a shambles. I am back to the "clean clothes pile" and the "dirty clothes pile". My floors are littered with toys and lets not talk about my kitchen. My husband has pitched in to help managed the madness but somehow that leave me feeling worse at times.
I asked my husband as much and he just looked at me and and said. "I have never doubted you as a mother but we both fail at the house keeping."
Now I was still stressing over this when I had to stop and ask myself why does having a messy house make me feel like a bad mother? Bad house keeper sure, but mother? Then I realized I had fallen prey to the belief and motherhood was little more than a gloried house keeper/babysitter.
Here I thought I was an independent modern forward things lady. Funny how I allowed myself to feel that way. Well at least now I can move on and maybe tackle the mess... Or find a nice house elf.
