Keeping it real today, I haven't posted much today because it's really hard to post inspiring, motivating, or even just funny things when you feel like the worst parent and person in the world!
Yes, I know I'm not a bad parent! I just have bad reactions sometimes and today was one of those days! I had a mommy meltdown! My patience was gone and my frustration took over!
Once you react that's what is taken into account with all the people involved! It's so hard to have a positive reaction when you are so frustrated! Today my reaction wasn't positive at all for my daughter or myself! Hence the feeling of failure as a parent!
But after my meltdown I broke down in front of my daughter! I'm not sure she has ever really ever seen me cry, cry! Heck, I don't think there are more than a few rare people who have ever seen me cry, But today she did!
We both hugged each other and said we are sorry, her for her tantrum and attitude and me for yelling and losing my patience! It's typical that we both have the same attitude and patience levels! Lol, this is going to be a learning process for us both!
Afterwards I'm sitting in my room trying to collect myself and my thoughts when she comes in and brings me this little post it note! Needless to say I started crying again, only happy tears this time! I just happened to be looking at these other two pictures of us together when she brought me this note!
So the point of this story, we all make mistakes, we all breakdown, we all have moments of failure, but even through it all we can still come out on top, become stronger, become wiser, still somehow manage to inspire someone else, and admit when we are wrong, apologize, and work to make everything better! Simply put, we are all pretty dang amazing for what our hearts and head put us through!
So do not be afraid to admit you make mistakes, do not be afraid to apologize, and do not be afraid to be your real self!
Maybe my daughter needed to see the more real sensitive side to me! Maybe it will help her understand her sensitive side too! After all, she is a little version of me! And she still is my heart!
