What you needed to hear was "youre such an amazing Mother and you carry your cross so well! Thank you for your example!" I receive the same reaction when ppl find out we have 9 children. I have to remind myself that people are just very ignorant and they dont understand because they simply dont have knowledge. When possible i think wearing your heart on your sleeve a bit and sharing a little of your unique life helps others understand better. I like the pryaer of St Francis Lord make me an instrument of your peace.....
I love that you have 9 children! What an amazing blessing!! I often wish we had more, but the Lord gave me as much as I could handle in those early years. He knew what he was doing!!
When my daughter was born severely disabled, I lost track of the number of people who looked at her with pity and said they were sorry. Sorry?! That confused me. I was completely blessed.❤ My daughter survived. I was one of the lucky ones. I also struggled with the pity aspect, but appreciated people meant well. I’ve had a blessed life even though it took a path I didn’t want or ask for. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t need pity. I have joy and happiness and a beautiful daughter and a wonderful son. I also wanted more children, but the fates decided two was enough.😊. Life provides so much if we look for it and are grateful for what we have.❤. I love your positive attitude.😊
The fact yoy did all that work in your kitchen that made the initial mess. Good for you and then watching you let it sit so you could rest because you knew you needed to amd then cleaned when you were up to it. God bless you. This is life. We live it and make messes.
You’re doing a great job! Sometimes our personal best on that day just has to be enough. I think the lows of motherhood aren’t discussed enough. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! It feels hard to share sometimes because I don’t want my daughter to one day look back and think I struggled because of her. It’s so not the case, but it’s also important for other moms to know they’re not alone in struggling.
Sweetheart are the girls doing so well because they are home schooled,,,,,your a wonderful mom and I'm so proud of the job your doing hun,,,,my grandson will March on the spot to self sooth so I understand what she's doing and why hun,,, sweetie your girls are not pitiful they are beautiful smart girls and my I know with my grandson I felt just sick to my stomach because this is not a kind world and he is so handsome and smart and I love him to bits and I would never want him any different then the way he is
Story time 😊 My middle daughter was the most laid back, easy going, logical toddler in the world. Never lost it over anything. We were out to eat one night at a steakhouse here in town, and it was packed. We ordered our food, and in a rush bc ot was so busy, I handed the waitress my menu instead of giving it to my daughter to give to the waitress. Without warning, she lost her mind, started throwing the tantrum to beat alllll tantrums. Without skipping a beat, my hubby picks her up and starts heading outside, and all eyes were on us. Some were judging, some were compassionate, and some were deeply concerned (I'm sure some contemplated callin a priest to perform an exorcism and some probably considered calling cps bc surely we were killing her). Even the hostess came over to make sure she was ok to which my response was, "She's about to be." Lol I was a little embarrassed, but it all ended well. She and her dad has a nice talk in the car, she pulled herself together, and she came back in and apologized. Your story made me tear up. I don't know how you felt, but if it is even a little bit of how I felt, I get it. And to think of it not ending, and I'm not sure I would have handled it as well as you did. ❤I think mommas tend to give the look of understanding/pity to any mom that has a kid going through something. Of course, there's always going to be judgey people, like those that see a kid on electronics and automatically assumes they are mindless zombies and not actually learning. Heaven forbid your child learn on a tablet 🙄. I am not doing allll the things I set out to do. I tend to pile too much on my proverbial plate, burn out, and just dump it all and quit. I am happy to say that my health and wellness is going well, and I have lost 4.2 lbs. My house is kinda clean. Our hot water heater decided to quit on us Saturday night, so that put a bit of a kibosh on cleaning yesterday. I am so proud of you! You are such a phenomenal momma, friend, and wife. You do hard things, and you do them with grace (and maybe a few tears and cuss words). Keep rocking it! You've got this!❤
I am so proud of your progress! 4.2lbs is fantastic! I think it super sucks your hot water went out. That calls for abandoning everything and moving into a hotel. Warm showers are my favorite thing. Thank you for sharing your story, it’s so hard public parenting, even though we know other parents have been through it!! I am grateful for all the compassion and kindness surrounding me. I was just in such a weird place in that moment.
@@feraltradwife I think I teared up because I fully intend to repay the favor when I'm no longer the cool mom and I'm the cringe mom. I plan to publicly love them through that phase lol. Just for balance's sake, and I don't know that you'll ever not be the cool mom. So, you won't get to experience that. Thank you! I'm able to tell a big difference in how I feel, and it's keeping me going. The hot water heater is currently working again. The plumber came by and worked a little magic to get us by, but he said it will have to be replaced sooner rather than later.

@@feraltradwife awesome I have an iPhone! Inspired by your work and progress, we have very similar body size and measurements and the same goal weight!
