We don't get it either and say that she is going thru the terrible 2s now.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856102708963900512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-71801520388487192462012-05-14T11:32:19.544-04:002012-05-14T11:32:19.544-04:00Sarah,
You HAVE to be easier on yourself! You are ...Sarah,<br />You HAVE to be easier on yourself! You are a wonderful, wonderful mommy and you can't expect to never feel tired, frustrated, annoyed at things that come with parenting. I have no idea what it's like to go through a loss like yours - I get shivers and hug my boys just a little tighter when I think about your journey. But in my humble opinion, you should make yourself a T-shirt or something that says "I'm an awesome mom" and look at it whenever you think you've been just a tad less than perfect. Cause you are.Alina Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-21557478840592142262012-05-14T09:18:35.338-04:002012-05-14T09:18:35.338-04:00You have every right to be tired, and to snap some...You have every right to be tired, and to snap sometimes. You're a mom. <br /><br />Not sure if it's something about this age... I don't remember my 9 and 7 year olds doing this, but right now my just-turned-5 yr old (aka the screecher, born a week before your AAE) is driving me bananas. Narrow comfort zone. Screams if you look at him cross-eyed. We don't give in to the tantrums. We don't get it. Just hope he gets more comfortable with himself soon and irons out these issues. I'm tired and I'm sure I'll be deaf soon.KimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118240180784107497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-68413396586861103092012-05-13T10:34:41.432-04:002012-05-13T10:34:41.432-04:00Sarah,
Your words and how you raise your daughters...Sarah,<br />Your words and how you raise your daughters are such an inspiration to me as I raise my twins. Your blog helped me through my pregnancy and now helps me be more patient with my girls when I'm tired, not feeling well, etc. <br />I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day with your beautiful family!Emilyhttp://hsquaredblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-33873231309884142542012-05-13T06:48:16.114-04:002012-05-13T06:48:16.114-04:00"Parenting after a loss is hard.

I wonder if I've babied the girls too much. I feel guilty when I snap at them. No parent is perfect. I know. I just don't ever want to live with feelings of regret."<br /><br />Yep, me too Sarah. <br /><br />xoHope's Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984543289642681339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-6976376814821730142012-05-13T01:20:13.592-04:002012-05-13T01:20:13.592-04:00I can't imagine how hard it would be to lose a...I can't imagine how hard it would be to lose a child. But your loss was heavens gain. And as easy as that is to say, it can't be easy to go through but Praise God for the 3 you have now and the one you'll be reunited with in the future!

But the thing of it is...Yes, Sarah, you are lucky. But the thing of it is, you KNOW it,and you are a better Mom for it.<br />Losing Abbey will never be far from your thoughts, and therefore, it is always a part of you. I know that I was a different Mom after our Timmy died. I was already a great Mom to Kim, she was my everything. But after I lost him, I was a "different" Mom. More overprotective, over indulgent perhaps, and more in the moment. Michelle was almost never without me near, never without a want, etc. Was it right...was I a better Mom? Well, sometimes, I know I should have let go a little, made her do some things I didn't. All because I knew that in the blink of a minute I could loose her. In the end both of my girls have become amazing women, and I am proud to know them. You will see that too in the years to come.
