Being Good Enough

I’m 1 person trying to keep my eye on 3 kids. I’m doing the best I can with no help but being bitched at & put down by the people who are supposed to support & encourage me the most, my OWN FAMILY!!!!!

I feel like no matter what I do, the messes I clean that my kids make while we’re visiting, the help I offer them with whatever they need, I’m not good enough. I feel like to them I’m supposed to be a perfect mother.

Girl, you’re not alone. This happens to me and so many other moms. “Family” and close “friends” expect perfection while offering the least help. At some point, you have to stop giving a fuck about their opinions and know you’re doing the best you can.

Aw you’re doing more than enough !! Especially with as much as you’re caring for. I’m sorry your family isn’t being a support system. Sometimes you gotta find your own. As the commenter before said you know what you’re doing and as long as you feel like you’re doing your best you’re good!! More power to you with three!! ❤️🎉🙌🏼
