I am a horrible mother
Ren Allen
"She is in the hospital because of her habbits and I am here
taking care of her son and all the bills as she is not working.
I want to cry....
On a different note. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do
about my pixie baby wanting different color hair? Is their any safe
hair die for her age, something that does not cost too much but that
we can change every so often?"
Well...first of all, you are not a horrible mother. A horrible
mother would feel justified and not guilty. You were a concerned
mother that had a bad moment. You realized it, and you tried to make
it better...next time you'll catch yourself sooner, the time after
that before the words even leave your mouth. Live and learn.
As to the roomate...WHY? Don't choose to continually bring a
negative force into your life. You negotiated a situation with her
that is not working for your family. RE-negotiate.
If you continue to surround yourself with negative people, you will
continue to pay the price. It isn't good for you, it isn't good for
your child and it isn't helpful for unschooling.
This person may seem to not have other options...I think you talked
about this before. But guilt is not a good basis for action. You
need to surround your life with positive energy and people. You
choose.
