It’s just the honest truth, I feel that my kids deserve a better mother than me. There are moments, like when my daughter hugs her brother, tells him she loves him, then kisses him, that I think “I must be doing something right”. One thing at least.
There are also times when I get a good chewing out from my mother on how horrible a parent I am. It’s especially at these times when I feel that my kids deserve better.
But a part of me thinks...if I’m so awful then why did God give these children to me? I feel as though I’ve been blessed with what I do not deserve. But certainly God knows what He is doing right? With a different mother, my kids would not be who they are. They wouldn’t look (adorable) or act (silly and hyper but sweet) the way they do. Being who I am makes them who they are. And they are precious children.
I guess somewhere inside I know God gave these kids specifically to me for a good reason. It just gets a little hard sometimes believing I’m good enough to deserve them.
Any other parents ever feel this way?
