[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing: I did all that stuff: volunteered, played board games, played pretend, played basketball at the local playground, got in the pool and played with them even though I didn't want to. I love my kids and they were always so happy that when I did all these things with them. But guess what. They don't remember any of it. Seriously. They have vague memories of it, but you could skip it all and they'd never know. As they got older, by their young teen years, I really just couldn't get into that freezing cold pool anymore, and now they believe I'm the mom who wouldn't get in the pool. I read them books every single night of their lives until they were 12 years old and they barely rememember it. It's really sad. Just be nice, caring, loving, give them what they need. Be home for them when they're teens. Take the pressure off yourself and tell your husband to shut up.[/quote]

They remember very little regarding all the things you do but they will remember the blow-ups and if you were there for them. Be kind to yourself. Being a mom sucks sometimes but we're ll doing our best. OP, Volunteering isn't important but try to introduce them to things that you like to do and try to share or engage in some of the things that they like to do. Spending time together is important.
