Mom Guilt

Pia

How are you all dealing with it? (to those who also experience it)

I try my best every day to show up as the best mom my kids deserve, but some days I come up short. I yell, I get frustrated, I lose my "cool". The mom guilt is seemingly eating me alive. Recently my daughter told me "all you do is yell at me". And it absolutely broke my heart, because she was right. Lately I've had a hard time keeping my cool, I was aware of it long before she said something about it. I feel like I've completely failed as a parent. I don't want my kids growing up thinking their mom was always frustrated and upset. I never thought motherhood would take such a mental toll on me but honesty it has. I feel so inadequate at times, like my kids would be better off without me. Sorry, just needed to vent I guess.
