I have 2 boys, one is 16months and has no fear! I swear he teeters on the edge of the couch at least 3 times a day and I have to rush over before he falls. He keeps me on my toes for sure!
Sometimes I have a little bit of a low when under a lot of stress, and then it takes more effort not to b snappy. I just focus in doing my best as a mom, spending time doing activities with them, and basically just sucking it up because I owe them the best.
My oldest is 9 and I can explain a lot to him about how sometimes I'm having a bad day and need him not to take anything personally. Also he understands that I have anxiety about certain things and he has to just do things a certain way because it helps me. So he doesn't mind that.
Overall because I'm adequately medicated I think I'm a good mom.
