Although it looks like an afterthought.<br /><br />I threw a tantrum on the weekend about everyone else having 'fun' weekends (ie. playing soccer all weekend) and me always getting stuck with the 'housework' weekend. And then I tied myself up in knots worrying, like you, that their memories will be filled with nagging and chores instead of laughter and walks in the neighbourhood.Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837796439737091649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909177134332227865.post-50798129053800409072011-08-25T07:55:39.038+10:002011-08-25T07:55:39.038+10:00Oh the vomiting dilemma!

This...I love the way you're thinking about it.<br /><br />This morning my daughter vomited all over our bed. When I read this post I realised that I had a horrible mother guilt moment when I left her standing beside our bed, shivering but wrapped in a jacket, while I hurriedly stripped our bed to avoid too much vomit staining. I hate these moments! I'm sure she's not in any way emotionally damaged but still I felt I should have been ONLY attending to her.<br /><br />It's pertinent to where I'm at right now - trying to figure out how to not go under with the mental stress of parenting.
