Pressure

Sharing is caring!

I put to much Parenting pressure on myself sometimes. I mean when I think about it I know I’m not alone but I hate the pressure. lol

Here are a few examples of when the “pressure” comes in………………………………..

1. If I don’t play with them for a long period of time– I mean what is the actual time limit that you should play with your kids? If I play with them for 10 mins right before bed time or earlier in the day I feel like a failure b/c I’m doing it just to please myself to make myself feel like super mom and if I play with them for more than an hour I get frustrated because Madison ALWAYS tells me what to do and how to do it and oh my goodness, the whole lets play barbie drives me nuts with the whole play talking and walking. 
2. Giving in to all of their “wants”. Mallorie wants me to hold her all the time or she just wants to be under me 24/7. I mean I try not to give in to all of her wants but I hate to hear her cry and it gives me a headache  so I give in ALL the time. Madison always wants something out of the store no matter where we are. Shoot we could be at a car wash and she’s going to say she wants air freshener. Lol… I think you get where I’m going with her but yeah. I’m working on not giving in so much. Well, not as much as I should but I want to:)
3. When I have that I’m tired attitude with them and I’m just so frustrated. After the king has gotten on my nerves about not helping out sometimes or I have heard “mommy” way to many times. My mommy dearest starts kicking in and I feel like I’m having an outer body experience because of all the things that’s happening around me so I am really trying to work on the whole being frustrated thing but ummmm its so difficult. 
4. I hardly ever take them to the park b/c I think creepy people hang out at parks and I think that maybe someone is watching me or something. Weird I know but hey don’t blame it on me blame it on Criminal Minds and Law & Order: SVU… HA!
