You said there will be times when you absolutely hate being a mother and you'll become resentful. Well, it's happened to me, too. Like Kregg said, you're human. And it's perfectly OK to feel like that from time to time. God had a plan for you and you'll live up to all expectations. You're a wonderful mom.

Just found your blog through Disco Jamboree! It's so pretty! I may not be a parent, but I just went through the most difficult year of my life asking God "why" every minute of every day. And you know what? He has finally started to show me why I needed to go through all of that pain. I learned a lot, and now I am equipped to handle things I never could've handled before. He sees the big picture. He absolutely picked you to be her mom for a reason. Hi! Just found your blog through Disco Jamboree! It’s so pretty!

It's good to know there are others who know what I'm going through. And Kregg, well, just you wait bro. :-) Thanks for the encouragement, everyone.

Every parent has a choice to make about how they raise their child. You have chosen the high road and all three of you will be blessed in the end.

It is incredible that our daughters have so much in common. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it for myself. I have the same feelings about parenting as you, so please remember that you are not alone. We will make it through this one day at a time.....

Perhaps he overlooked my perfectionist tendencies, which really don’t work with my particular kid." I bet you a dollar he thought of all of those things. Maybe he is trying to teach you patience, control and strength. Maybe he is trying to teach you that it's ok to be less than perfect. Maybe he is doing this through loving a little girl who tests every fiber of patience you have. You are a good mom, but you are also a human. You are raising a very strong willed girl who has alot of obstacles to overcome. You are raising her well. And it's ok to not like your child sometimes...but you will always love her. Think about all the people you love...think about how much you can not like them, right? Keep your head up bruiser, you're gonna make it. You have a good man by your side to help. God dosen't make mistakes, he really dosen't. Love. “Perhaps God didn’t think about my impatience, or my short temper, or my desire to flee when things get hard.
