I'm constantly feeling beat down as a mom, especially under the scrutiny of other military wives. I've been beating myself up over all of it lately. I felt relieved after reading your post! I'm a young mom and it's hard not to get upset about people telling you what's right or wrong with raising your child. There is also the other side of things that I'm having a hard time dealing with. My career driven friends constantly talking about how many things they are able to do without a child...I have to walk away and swallow the lump in my throat when this comes up because I am hurt. It's like they are calling children a handicap. My child has ENHANCED my life. I really appreciate people like you expressing your views.<br />Thank you!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135956914665082452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-3268916969491370472013-03-20T14:47:31.771-04:002013-03-20T14:47:31.771-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Oaks of Righteousness Theologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393704954823237145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-153983850882205178.post-31413564865559172792013-03-17T20:08:36.621-04:002013-03-17T20:08:36.621-04:00Ginny, I want to thank you for your words. Oh, th...Ginny, I want to thank you for your words. Oh, the torture we put ourselves through! Your accurate description of motherhood - grinding, chewing, spitting out - is on target. I thought I had life figured out when I had our sweet little babe. Oh gosh no! Life crumpled me up into a heap of tears and anguish. Somehow, a voice told me to go to church, after 15 years, and I did. God found me (well, I finally listened to His callings), and I threw myself into His loving, patient, awaiting arms. It has been almost two months since I was baptized, and every day that passes is a new gift of life and motherhood. Before I found Him, every day was such a struggle - naps, nursing, sleep, bathtime, my MARRIAGE! With God, I was able to find my intuition, and my ability to organize and make schedules. Our lives are infinitely better with Him and His trust and guidance.<br />I wish I could pass this feeling to every mother out there who is at her wit's end, struggling, and asking everyone around her for help. It took me 31 years to find the answer, so no one should ever give up hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541005264837007133noreply@blogger.com
