Of late, I have observed that I am in constant battle with myself about Amuktha. I have become this nag mom, who is after her all the time starting in the morning until night. Brush your teeth, finish you breakfast, put the used dishes in the sink, so on and so forth until brush your teeth you will be late to bed...........
How does someone manage time and tell it's importance to a 6 year old? Am I the nagging mom who is always on her case to either finish her homework or clean up her mess so that she can get enough rest.
What am I doing wrong? I feel like I am developing a gap with her. I don't want to be this controlling mother, but I don't want to blame them at the end of the day when I go to bed late because I end up cleaning all the mess they made.
Is there ever a balance? I know I have to prioritize, but I can't let the house be a mess or forget the laundry or feed them leftovers and being a working mom doesn't help.
They say tough love is true love, is it really? But, kids need to feel the love don't they? They shouldn't be in an atmosphere where they are scared to do anything. I realize as a parent, I should be the more mature one and pick my battles.
