[quote=Anonymous]I don’t have any personal experience in this area but my instinct is that you should pick one small area to be “good” at. Maybe it’s making sure your kids always have at least a good breakfast. Maybe it’s helping them make their beds every day. Maybe it’s making sure you spend 15 minutes before bed every night tidying the main room they spend time in or making sure their bathroom sink isn’t gross. Focus on one thing you can control, and which doesn’t feel overwhelming. Your kids will be ok with a messy house, or eating lots of frozen meals. They need to know you love them and are paying attention to them. That you even posted this means you are a good mom. We are all just doing the best we can. Good luck, and I hope things get easier for you. [/quote]
