I am enough.

This is my current state of mind regarding my 6-year old. When will I stop having to remind her to flush the the toilet, wash her hands, clean up her toys, tidy up after herself, whine about screentime, say thank you & & goodbye, try to control her stadium-level voice, be mindful of staying on task, stay in her chair during meals, not run around like a buffalo, listen and follow trough when I'm addressing her before my voice gets raw, etc...
I'm tired, always busy, vulnerable, hungry, and exhausted.. She's amazing and smart and can be stunningly sweet, but now that I'm a new mom of more then one, it seems like a bunch of things/habits that I have seemingly inadequately reinforced or instilled discipline with (especially listening and screentime and tidying) are kind of making me feel a sense of mom guilt? I'm wary of other moms judging me, too. Moms that don't know me. It's just a phase, right? It has flared up since her sibling arrived, but maybe it just bothers me more. What can I do to patch up. This keeps me up at night. No, not really, the baby does. 😅 Thoughts while up pumping. - Ruby T

"Listen my friend, if one person doesn't want the relationship, then it's simply not a fit. No sense trying to figure out why they don't' want it. No sense blaming it on their commitment issues. No sense waiting around for them to realize they wanted it after all. Because it doesn't matter why they don't want it. What matters is that you are met hear on by a fully engaged partner. If they don't want it, then you don't want it, because you don't' want to be with someone who isn't there for it fully. that's the thing about love relationship, it's an agreement that has to be singed by both souls. If one doesn't sign, then nothing has been lost. If it's not a fit for them, it's not a fit for you either." - Jeff Brown, An uncommon bond

She said-
"where I messed up is that I continued looking for happiness with the person who was taking it away from me; continued to give chances to someone who had proven to be unworthy of them; and continued to expect a different result from someone who had no plans on changing at all." - poetic_style

'Late Bloomers' Makes The Case For Patience In A Culture Focused On Early Success
「這次,是我們婚姻中共同重要的一課。這段期間, 我們共同經歷情緒起伏,我們也就事件詳談很久很深。這是夫妻二人之間的一課……當中也深深包含了彼此的錯誤和彼此的原諒。人誰無過是老生常談,但事實確是如此啊。
在這次中,重要的,是更進一步身歷婚姻其中真諦。幸福不只是一場場順利美滿,當中也有試煉,也一起去經歷高低狀況,讓夫妻之間的感情厚度帶領著前行,更要彼此走進對方的內心,一起正視各自的軟弱,不放棄自己,不放棄對方,互相糾正,互相提點,在婚姻歷煉中,我深信經歷和教訓一定會幫助重回正軌,生命更會更生。這期間在我們彼此都最難捱的時刻,握着手一起祈禱,對我們的幫助極大。………今天以後,就只向前看,在時間的見證中,繼續一步步前行。-Sammi
