Raising Little Humans ♡

My biggest failure as a parent. It is hard to describe, because I feel like a failure in a lot of ways. So what is my biggest ?

Let me break this down into my top 3 biggest failures as a parent. And what to do with it.

When I beat myself up, making myself feel horrible, because I work fulltime. My daughter goes to daycare 3 days of the week. She went there since she was 3 months old. She loves going there, to play with the other children or Just watch them play. 2 days of the week she goes to my mother inlaw. My daughter loves to go there and play with the dog.

So if she loves the places she goes to, when I’m at work. Why do I feel guilty for leaving her? Why do I feel horrible for working so much? I feel like she needs to see us more as parents. But I also feel like we need to provide a future for her. That requires money. Everything is getting so expensive, that I need to be a working mom. And the struggles of a mother who works fulltime are real. Goes our minds are driving us crazy! To work or not to work.. That is the question!

Number 2 in my list is not keeping the house as tidy as possible. When I was pregnant, the only thing I did was clean. I couldn’t work, do to pregnancy ilness. But I could clean for 20 minutes and rest for 30 minutes. But now with a 10 month old running my life(and i love it) besides the time I spend at work, cleaning is the last thing I want to do… Am I the only mom Who thinks like this?

Number 3 on the list is… Not doing more ativities in your free time than we do. Once a month we go to the zoo as a family and sometimes just me and my daugther. We have a subscription but we don’t always have the time that cooperates with her sleeping schedule. We go on walks and take her to the petting zoo. We went swimming with her once, but that is because of the lock down. We go to the playground. But spring has just begun, so with colder temperatures it was for 30 minutes max.

All parents feel like failures at one point. This makes u human. Don’t be shy to ask for help, or just enjoy the small stuff. Play together, read books together, eat together. Your child will enjoy these moments with u to most. They want to be close to u at this age. They want to learn from you, by watching you do. So maybe think about investing in a baby carrier. It will be easier doing small house chores. And you will be able to teach them while doing. Show them, and narate what you are doing in simple words.
