My husband is really helpful, but I'm desperate for a more equitable approach to parenthood.
I have two kids, 15 and 13 years old. I love them both dearly and they’re pretty awesome, but I am not a great mom. I try my hardest to do the right thing, but I seem to be in a constant state of screwing up. I kind of low-key ruin everything by saying the wrong thing or misreading a situation. I don’t think I am mean or cruel; unintentionally thoughtless might be the best descriptor.
Part of the reason is that I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and am still struggling with timing—particularly the timing of big conversations. Part of it is that I’m terribly introverted and the rest of my family are wholly extroverted. I do better at expressing myself in emails instead of conversations because it gives me time to think of what I really want to say rather than deer-in-headlights thinking on my feet .
Will this be enough for them? Will I be enough do you think? I’m so mad at myself for failing at this!About an hour ago, I had to reprimand both my sons for each making a mistake that got one of them hurt. When consoling my oldest I reminded him that even grownups make mistakes, and I rattled off several things I’d messed up at home and work that day. I think he felt better, but who knows, maybe I bored him.My point is, all of us are screwing something up.
