Can’t believe my little Peanut (who can eat 5 slices of bread with peanut butter in a single sitting) will be turning 6 soon. We had a mini celebration over the weekend with just my mum, sis, brother in law and of course his two beloved cousins. It was everything he wanted and more. When it was time for him to make a wish, he shook his head and I couldn’t understand why since it’s the best part. I saw these pictures on my camera roll and I just burst into tears. I have spent many nights worrying. What mother doesn’t want the absolute BEST for their kids? Co parenting is not easy and everyday I still mourn the loss of the life I imagined for them. Parenting and guilt often comes hand in hand. I realise I have empathy boundaries and sometimes I end up becoming self destructive. Often, I worry about not being enough for them. Especially Isaac who is such a sensitive soul. These pictures remind me how happy and loved Isaac is and that I am doing a bloody brilliant job. He doesn’t need a fancy cake, a big party or lots of presents to be happy. All he needs is me. Just me as I am. Guilt is not going to make me a better mum. Today I am putting it out there into the universe that enough is enough. I am enough and I will stop being so hard on myself and trust they will be fine. Happy mum, happy kids after all. You reading this, you ARE enough. You are worthy of love. You are doing a great job. Better than you think. You can stronger than you could ever imagine. Keep going! #empathyboundaries #happybirthday #mumguilt #yougotthis #itsbubz
