My own worst critic
It’s late at night. The kids are fed and asleep. Chris is fed and asleep. I am fed and wid awake. I turned on a video by influencer Jen_ny69, because I think she’s really funny and I watch her make up tutorials. I will link the video I watched where she talks about some real shit.
At first she talks about drugstore brands that are good bang for a buck. THEN she starts to talk a little bit about mental health. She points out its easier now than it was 10 years ago to compare yourself to another person. “Oh that person has kids and they are still going on big trips, why can’t we” And that really hit home for me. Being a SAHM (stay at home mom), it’s hard not to compare, wishing you could do more for your family, wishing you could even have just a little more money to buy some nicer things.
I’m not saying I don’t want nicer things but I have to remind myself that what I have is enough. Our home, our kids, our dogs, my husband, they are enough andthey deserve as much love that I can give.
Easier said than done “don’t let it get to you, make your own happiness”. That is can be the hardest thing or the easiest thing to do, you just have to dig deep and decide which path you’ll take.
