Today I sucked as a mom

mrsmorris1

So I made bad mommy choices today and I feel horrible for it.  My dd is on a pretty good schedule but today I had errands I had to run and her morning nap went forever so we were off our routine.  We went to the mall.  She refused to sleep when we got home.  We chose to eat out for dinner and then head to Good Friday church service.  She melted down before the service even started.  My husband took her home and I stayed. (I work at the church)  I feel horrible.  I shouldn't have gone to the mall, knowing we were going to be gone tonight.  Then when she didn't nap, I shouldn't have brought her to church.

I hate when I make the wrong choices.   It makes me feel like I have no clue what I'm doing and that I'm a total failure at this.  Poor baby was miserable.  I cried all the way home from church.  I sucked today.

I think you are being WAY too hard on yourself. This was just an off day. Keep your head up!! You're doing a great job.

Thanks girls.  I have a tendancy to be hard on myself anyways, but I just hate when she gets so upset and I could have helped her avoid that.  Oh well.  You live and learn.

Bad mom would be feeding her Cheetos and Redbull, and letting her tap dance on the hood of a moving vehicle. What you did was human, I'm sure most of us have been there/done that.
