Re: Coping with Panic when looking after children
I cannot say how pleased I am to know that these guilty feelings are not just me. I am forever telling my cpn who visits me that I 'rely' on my two girls to give me a reason to get on with things. I have terrible guilt that they will miss out on stuff because mummy doesn't like something. So far I have pushed myself to do things for them/with them. Next thing to tackle to taking them to the theatre to see the lion king. Can really see it coming for enough, but I WANT to take them, they are my girls and I don't want to miss out on seeing their wee faces at their first theatre trip. I know I will feel really crappy during the show, and I am just pleading that I will manage to see it through. Trying not to think about it too much just now as that will only set me off in a panic.
All mummies and daddies who suffer from this are all doing their best, and in the eyes of the children they are the best! That's all that matters. Children are resilient.
Would love to hear from other mummies and daddies who deal with this.
