Alright lets talk about children this go round.
Lets see where to start? Um well you see kids on TV in shows and in movies etc. and you think to yourself wow those are really good kids I want to have a family just like that when I grow up...then you grow up and start your family and find the kids not so perfect as on TV and you think wow what did I DO WRONG?
Are you doing anything wrong really? I mean yeah you get a few glares and stares and rude gestures from perfect strangers who obviously never had kids...when your kids are being kids...alright so how far is too far with the just being kids category? Is there a limit? I know the ideal is right in front of us when we turn on the TV...but does those children actually exist? I am sure they have moments of melt downs too there is no child that doesn't go through their life without a melt down...unless they are from a rich family who gives them every single thing they ask for and never tell the child no...then yeah what's there to complain about in a life like that? so no need to act out right?
Anyways...What I am trying to say is maybe we aren't at fault here for our kids being anything but the perfection we see on the TV...I mean yeah it was a nice dream in all but reality is in front of you and you gotta work with what you have been blessed with and figure out how to mold that energy and attitudes into positive experiences...It is very hard but I KNOW some how it HAS to work.
I will try things out and let you all know how it goes...
Perfection after all doesn't exist and pursuing after it all your life you will look back and wish you had just accepted things the way things were and worked with what you had instead of trying to make things better than they already were best as they sat and were ignored for years....does that make sense? sorry I am tired...I just had this epiphany before bed and had to share, isn't that how it goes? it sounds great in your head and then you type it out and maybe its just crazy thinking...but hope it sticks lol
I do suffer from perfectionism and I also suffer from OCD...once I get started on something its very hard for me to stop...and its easy to get distracted onto other things too so a touch of ADHD too...you know that email you probably got a while back or just last week who knows but you know you got the forward once...the one about how the lady went to go check the mail and ended up finding a remote and her reading glasses and all these other things that suddenly had to get done and then in the end found she hadn't completed one task at hand cause she was jumping from task to task? um yeah that is me...and it sucks...but I make the best of whatever...I tend to OCD over the stupid stuff too...and its hard being an OCD parents Child I know it has to be hard on the kids...I don't blame them for throwing their hands up and doing what they want cause no matter what they do they aint doing it right or whatever XD I am a wreck right now sorry guys just rambling my thoughts as they come XD
Anyways I better stop right here cause I need to go to bed...
but I had to get this out of my head so I could sleep thanks for listening to my rambles XD gn
Sincerely,
