Am I really a bad mom
I wasnt feeling well yesterday and and I let him eat all that candy, he never really eat that but I allowed him to yesterday. Around 10 last night he said he was hungry and I didnt want to go feed him. When I did he didnt want the food. I kinda got upset when someone and thought they was calling me a bad mom
every once in a while my kids stay in pajamas all day and end up eating goldfish crackers, chocolate milk and bananas for lunch, LOL... some days are just like that. you just have to make sure it's not every day.
I remember before I had kids I thought they'd get a bath every night and I'd brush their teeth after ever meal and they'd never eat fast food or candy or know what pop tasted like, and I'd never swat or spank my kids... I ended up doing a lot of things that I said I'd never do and I still feel bad sometimes about most of them... I try to stop myself and ask, "Jessica, are you doing the best that you can do?" sometimes teh answer is no... but then I have ot stop and look at my kids, they know they are loved, they are healthy and happy... I'm doing okay.
I do that sometimes too when I know weare not going anywhere for the day. My son is 3 and all I can get him to eat sometime is noodles and oatmeal.
I am 19 and feel guilty sometimes because when I first had him I didnt have him much my husband mom took him and wouldnt let me do anything for him. I only have had him with me all the time for about 9 months. I dont know how to be a good mom. I down myself a lot. I get upset and yell and him for things I know he dont understand. Iam learning to be patient with him. He dont listen at me at all and he laugh at me when I tell him stop, no, or anything else.
Sometime i feel like I should be his sister instead of his mom.

Renee, we've all had days like that!!! I remember once when I had 5 kids ages 9 and under and we had cereal for all three meals!!! hehehe We thought it was AWESOME!!!! It's been a funny thing we do once in a while still when we are "naughty" hehehe My daughters and sons in laws also do it with their kids now and then!!!!
Also we think it's a hoot to have pizza for breakfast!!! My kids are all above average intelligence, highly physically active in competitive sports etc... and it didn't hurt them one damn bit!!!
Take it slow honey, you are a good Mom and you are learning alot these past months. I was a Mom at 19 and was complimented always for being such a great Mom. :0) You can do it too!!!! Just ask questions if you are wondering about anything and I'm sure too, your Mom could help answer anything as well!!!
Sending big hugs, Suzee :0)
Yes, we do that sometimes, even eat egg, bacon, grits for dinner. Its all fun sometimes ok a lot of the times. lol I'm my biggest hater lately. I feel I am always being watched to see if I am going to mess up. i love him so much but I have so much to learn to being a mom to 2 children. I want them to have the best and be wonderful little people that grow up to be great adult people. I feel like I cant do it sometime.
I WISH I COULD TELL EVERY LITTLE GIRL every teen to wait. BEING a MOM, being a teen mom is the hardest thing ever. I wish I had waited, I make so many mistakes, I dont think I can do do right. They want/need so much/many things that I cant give them right now.
I dont even have Grace with me. Shes 3 weeks old and still in the hospital, this is so hard for me to deal with.
Hello Renee, I read your post and I think you said the right thing about its hard being a teen mom. There are so many young girls out there with the attitude of I can do this or I’ll put the baby off on mom and dad. I wasn’t a teen mom but I have wow 5 children and my twins are in the hospital too. It’s hard for me now and I am an adult.
You said you think you are not a good mom because you didn’t feed you son anything since two don’t feel bad my 5 year old didn’t eat since she ate at school during lunch. It was Valentine Day, kids will do that. It doesn’t make you a bad mom and never will because of that. Stop being so hard on yourself, I sometime am my biggest hater too when it comes to my children and a few other things.
You say you are a teen mom and if you had the chance to talk to others, you would tell them to wait, well I want to talk to you I am sending you a pm. I would love to you to do something for me.
My prayers are with you

Yes its very hard for me right now, I wont even lie. If I can go back and start over I would in a heart beat. Alright I will be waiting on your pm.
Thank you so much in advanve, you just don't know how much this will be helping me out.
I am keeping you and your children in my prayers.

This happens sometimes so your not a bad mom, if it was an everyday occurence then, I rest my case.
Its like Halloween, kids eat the crap out of candy, get sick & the next day, its back to the regular eating schedule breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Someone must have made you feel defensive?????????
Choose wisely, treat kindly
