I love my mom. My mom loves me. We don't have an easy relationship. I don't think we ever will, but I'd rather have a complicated, misunderstood relationship than have no relationship at all.
There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and feeling guilty about that because I work.
My biggest regret? Well, I got my boobs done in my early 20's and if I had known it would or could possibly have impacted production of milk, I would never have had them done. I love being a mom.
I want to be a loving mom.
I want to be a mom who listens.
I want to be a cool mom.
I am proud of my kids, but I also want to make my mom proud of me. I'm still a momma's girl at the heart of the situation.
Sometimes I do envision just being a stay at home mom but not working isn't an option for me currently.
