But sometimes I wish I could be alone for an entire day. Sometimes I just want her to let me do what I need to do without having her right on top of me. Sometimes I want to go to the bathroom without "company." Sometimes I want to read a book without pictures and not have to stop to get a glass of juice. Sometimes I want to have a day that doesn't depend on the mood of another being.
Then the guilt washes over. Sigh.
I understand it's not quite the same, but my wife says similar things in regard to the PFB. We nickname her the Visa-Puppy because the dog is literally everywhere you want to be. She's my wife's shadow....
ReplyDeleteand the guilt. she also mentions the guilt.
I feel for ya.
You, my dear, are a normal mother, parent and human being. You're doing a great job, and what you're feeling is the same for mothers/fathers/caregivers all over the place. Including me!
