My weekend did not go as plan which in my household is the usual. What started out as a simple oil change at turned out that “Big Blue” my name for my truck turns out she needed more work. That usually means more money that I just did not budget in this pay period. I already feel as if I am drowning in financial strain. Some are sexual frustrated I am financial frustrated looking for relief. This little hick up in my Saturday morning just happens to trickle down to my weekend with the girls. I did not realize how much I affected my daughter till she hands me a two page letter. Expressing her own frustrations so OK, I was not the best Mom this weekend. I did apologize by telling her I love her and I will work on how I deal with my frustrations.
I think what touched me most in her letter was the following:
You told me that I do not appreciate anything that you do/give me. That is not true. I am thankful for everything you and daddy give me. I don’t understand why you would say that to me!
So OK I feel like the worst parent but at times I do feel under appreciated. I feel like everyone just wants and takes while not taking the time to appreciate the sacrifices that I make. OK children most times do not realize that an adult is sacrifice to make sure that they have. It does seem that she appreciates all that is done for her. I will keep that in mind next time I feel that financial crunch. I would say just breath but I need an extra 20,000 in my yearly income so that I can breathe easier. The love of my daughter does make me feel a bit better about all that I do.
