While sitting at home with my two boys today I got to thinking that maybe blogging my thoughts on raising twins could become useful to some people. I heard of a woman who blogged about her postpartum depression, and a lot of people commented on how it helped them. I like to be real. I don't like to cover up and pretend everything is under control. I constantly shout out, "I'm weak, and I can't do this!" I do this because I find comfort when those that I respect and look up to can do the same. When they can tell me they've been through it too and its OK to feel that way.
We all know what we should be, we all know how we should act and we all usually know what the answer is to a problem. But when it gets down to the nitty gritty we give in to frustration, we explode and using those tools, that we know we have, becomes out of the question. If you're like me you may feel as though you have failed some how, like you couldn't pass the bar and like you aren't qualified to do these hard things that life throws at you. The truth is life is hard, and we're all just scraping along doing the best that we can.
I wanted to start this blog so that I don't give people a false impression of how my life is. Raising twins is hard, and I don't handle it gracefully most the time. I hope you can take some comfort in reading this. All we can do is try our hardest. Sometimes we reach the end of our rope, and that's OK. We can pick it up and start climbing again.
I think this is great of you! I think it will be hewlp ful to lots of people, including you. Sometimes, as mothers, and even as humans, we need an opportunity to vent. To see that there are others who are stuggling just like we are. This is a great idea! We will be reading it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hopefully it will help. I just want people to know how hard things can be, and that they are that way for everyone.
ReplyDeletevery cute picture!
ReplyDeleteyou are going to look back on this blog in a couple years & be so glad you wrote it. Who knows! You might even read it to the kids when they are grown.
it's great to document memories or feelings.. then you can see your progress or remember what worked & what didn't (when you have your next set of twins lol)
lol! That's the nice thing about blogging. Its a good way to keep personal history. I wish I had started one for when I was pregnant.
