Partied out?

Really? Who would have thought? I love get together but I find them much more stressful now that Grace is mobile! We had another wedding shower today and I find myself not really enjoying any of this - I feel like people are judging me for how Grace acts. She is really well behaved but she is 15 months and she gets bored pretty quickly. I do my best to keep her on the quieter side and busy but I just can't all the time. This shower was my SIL's friends and her family friends. One of her family friends is a real bitch! She just sits and glares at people and I felt her judging my parenting the whole time!  I am also very self conscious about my weight around basically everyone - I always feel like people are judging me for not having lost the baby weight yet. I know a lot of it is in my head but I also know that it is justified in many situations. Her friends are very superficial and very "trendy" people. I do not dress "trendy" by any means. All of their clothes are expensive and designer and I feel they judge me for not wearing those things. It's something I need to get over, these people do not mean anything in my life....

  1. you are right, they don't know your story, they don't know your struggles and you are so much more than a person someone judges.
    Motherhood is the most challenging yet rewarding job in the world. You are a great mother and don't let one person opinion of that ruin things. Enjoy them when they are little, they grow so very fast!
    I remember when my two boys started being mobile....it was interesting ?? ;-).
    hang in there, you are doing a great job!
