I think we probably all go through that at some points. The wanting to not be the 24/7 caretaker. Cause wouldn't it be nice to be taken care of once in a while..specially when you are sick, the seas are rough and you are utterly exhausted?

I think I fall a little on the nuturer side however it's like a balance act always. And when you are a single mom Trippin, it usually is because there are too many hats to put on and not enough time to change them. Harriot's magic hats..a show I watched when I was a kid. YouTube Wish it were that easy.

I did play with dolls and trucks, was a bit rough and tumble. Not sure how much that makes a diff..interesting. But your being the best mom you can be. Not all mothers are alike. I'm probably not a typical mom either but thats ok. You love your daughter and Jordan knows that. You are there for her and always will be..she knows that too right? You take care of her needs and wants, try to pass on good life lessons and guide her. You protect her ..your being a mom. There is nothing to meassure up too. Which yard stick shall we use?

I think as parents we all worry..feel guilt.. feel like we are not doing it right or enough or this or that. Parents are just people. Vast and varried. They don't need cookie cutter moms, they need real people that have both strengths and weakness and can admit and accept both and seek and strive for the best they can.
