growing our family through open transracial adoption

does that make me bad?

After the last post I’m feeling a little bit bad.  Sometimes I waffle back and forth about if I should post certain things…  Am I a bad mother because I lost my patience?  Please tell me there are other mothers out there who have experienced something similar and I’m not the only one :(

When I blog it serves two purposes: to hopefully help others and to vent.  I try hard to make sure this blog maintains it’s realness.  A lot of people see AP’s as “perfect”.  We try hard to meet those expectations too, despite the stress it puts on us.  For me at least it seems like I am constantly being compared to “real mothers” and the only thing people think I have to offer that is worth anything is money.  Another comment from a stupid person…but that one really stung :(  Anyway, that’s another post for another day.

Motherhood is wonderful and parenting M is the most important thing I will do with my life.  But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows… I have bad days too, regardless of people’s expectations of what an adoptive mom should be.  I’m not perfect.  This is my first time being a mommy… I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance…
