These Are the Things That Keep Me Awake at Night

Am I worthy of this child? She is so strong willed. She challenges my confidence daily with her stubborn, sometimes overwhelming personality. I am told this will benefit her one day, but if I have to have one more fight about the way her darn socks (or shirt, or pants, or underwear, or shoes, or hair accessory....) are fitting her, I just may LOSE IT!!!!

I am so in for it! I already have these issues with my beautiful strong willed child. As Dr. Phil would say, "never fight with your child and if you do, never let them win!" You are an awesome Mom!!

everytime we struggle those struggles I think of the future and what an amazing strong independant woman she will be...keep hanging in there! I know exactly where you are coming from (and professionally I am told to never say that someone....because no two experiences are the same) You have my empathy, my giggles under my breath (thinking thank goodness someone else feels just like me) and you have my hugs (to keep your arms strapped at your sides so you don't turn her upside down and hang her from her toenails)!

XOXOXO
