Still Smiling

[BklynMom]

Thank you b and job.

I know he is so selfish. Never says thank you for me doing so much. All the other parents I know are amazed at how I able to handle raising two kids and working. All my friends (you guys included) talk about how lucky and amazing my mom is for helping me. Exh never thanks me nor does he thank my mother. He just sends emails like the ones above passive aggressively saying I am somehow less then good as a mom.

The pacifier is not ideal but I am not gonna upset our comfortable bed time
Routine. It will happen when it happens. Maybe I'll try again after his next weekend with the kids.

The extended pacifier use messed up my d6 speech but luckily my d4 speech has not been effected.
I am really working hard on not judging myself for not being a perfect mom.

That's kind of why I needed to share the email on these boards. I am slightly embarrassed and ashamed that my 4 year sleeps with a pacifier but seriously big whoop. It's so not important in the big picture. She is 4. She needs to feel secure and if I can give my daughter that (after her father abandoned her) that is my priority.

I am so blessed.

I am so happy in the life I have.

I am so lucky to have these boards
