The answer is YES, sometimes I feel like a bad Mom. We've all had those moments. Fortunately kids are resilient (I keep telling myself)!Christie in Dallas, TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230084513084255316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192426346112469333.post-66692346453298777732009-05-21T22:04:45.784-04:002009-05-21T22:04:45.784-04:00oh... heart wrenching.

Isn't it funny how we're supposed to be the "teachers" and yet they are the ones that teach us so much in return? Gotta love 'em!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08712995386714714804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192426346112469333.post-77712980738743048362009-05-21T12:57:53.060-04:002009-05-21T12:57:53.060-04:00Absolutely you're the only one!

I think a valuable lesson for kids to learn that their parents are people too. I screw things up allllll the time. Every once in a while I have the guts to tell my kids, "I am really crabby. I handled this wrong because I just took it out on you. I'm sorry." <br /><br />You are also not the only one who has kids that call them over the dad every. single. time.<br /><br />It's nice to be popular and all, but sheesh!Vivienne @ the V Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423346418730195821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192426346112469333.post-62885319544923003952009-05-21T12:54:17.630-04:002009-05-21T12:54:17.630-04:00That happens to me too.

I just get used to my kids needing something all the time, that when they just want to say something sweet, it makes me feel so bad.<br /><br />You are a great mom Kelli!

There's always something as a mom to make me feel guilty, and in the moments like you had yesterday I usually don't respond so nicely either. <br />I've had my fair share of moments where I've said or responded in a way that I feel badly about. <br /><br />It's so hard to balance everything.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06653688722708122703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192426346112469333.post-1967042974319559452009-05-21T10:40:19.628-04:002009-05-21T10:40:19.628-04:00LOL!

"Oh, nothing"...is the response I get, because now I've scared them...then I feel terrible...gulp!<br /><br />Trust me...they will not remember those little moments as much as the moments we truly shower them with hugs & kisses! Those outweigh the crabby attitudes...and I always tell them it's not their fault I'm grumpy and it's ok to be grumpy sometimes! Whew..I think I feel better anyway...ha ha!
