Re: Repost: I feel so stupid (kind of parenting related)

ummmmmmmmmmmmm you are not stoopid. You are what we called overwhelmed. You need to find time to relax BY YOURSELF. You also need to delegate responsibilities more. You cant do everything. I have learned this the hard way. I too like to take on a lot and it really makes me go crazy when i do that. I also get really stressed out and resentful when I have to do everything. I forget a lot as well and your boss is right it is mommybrain. But that is something that we are always going to have for the rest of our lives apparently.

I used to stay at work until 7 or 8 even - I wouldn't leave until I was 100% sure that everything was done and under control. Now, I am typically out the door at 5pm to spend time with DS.

We can't be superstars as mommies and as employees- we also have to take care of our own health and nurture our marriages- then there are family and friendship responsibilities and running a household- something has to give!

Please don't feel bad- you are doing all that you can.

also, silly mistakes doesn't mean that overall you aren't great at what you do!
