This is going to sound silly and irrational but I blame myself for things that are completely out of my control.
I especially blame myself when Delaney gets sick.
Seeing as I am a stay at home Momma I feel it is my job to take care of my kids and my home and make sure that they are all safe. So when My child gets sick I feel like I have not properly done my job.
While Delaney doesn't get sick often when she does I find myself saying to myself, I should have watched her better, I should have made her wash her hands better, I should have not let her shake hands with strangers, I should have taken better care of her...
I feel like while it's totally irrational to think this way, what else can I think.I should know that kids get sick, I should know that kids pick up germs, I should know that I can't help that she will get sick (and max will too), I should, but I don't...
It's almost sick the way that I blame myself, the way that I put myself down and make her illness my fault.
It's one of the things that I have to work on as a Momma...
I have a few things I have to work on as a Momma...
Do you blame yourself for things that you can't control when it comes to your kids...
I'm not sure what to say about all that blame, but I wanted to mention that it is good for Delaney's immune to get sick occasionally. Otherwise it won't get practice and get stronger. Sooooo,...you are actually a fabulous mother who is strengthening her child's immune system. Way to go. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above post... Getting sick actually strengthens the immune system...
