Today, I feel resentment towards my husband. I keep remembering that he is the reason I am a parent - and therefore currently experiencing these feelings of stress, tiredness and strain...and a whole mix-mash of other adjectives that describe the feelings that come with being trapped in a long term relationship that is not satisfying (That would be parenting!)
Of course, I know that this attitude is not healthy for me and especially my relationship, so I shake it off. Admit to myself that, ultimately, having children was a choice that I made and I have no one to blame but myself. How depressing!
But since it is NOT a situation that I can change, I must soldier on, doing the best that I can to be a good parent, despite my total distaste for the job.
I wonder, does anyone else feel this way? Am I the only mother out there to find that parenting is NOT for her, but still trying gamely to be the good mother through it all?
Well, Merry Christmas!
