[quote=Anonymous]You sound like the worst kind of mother. The only ones worse are the physically abusive ones. I have known mothers like you and their kids are really messed up. Your kids are well on their way with the anxiety. I’m sure the anxiety stems from never being enough for you. People with moms like you crack from all the pressure and have breakdowns. Or they just stop trying at all, because what’s the point? Mom will never think they’re good enough even if they do their best.

Hire a good cleaning lady and then go play with your kids! The goal in life is to be happy, not to be perfect. I too have an immaculate house and struggle with everything not being perfect (this pandemic with everyone home 24/7 has been hard on me) but what’s the point of a perfect house if you can’t enjoy it? I love homes that have parties and play dates and I love the sound of squealing little kids. I wash my kids hands often so that my walls aren’t dirty, but I also repaint every 5 years. Just let go![/quote]
