I've been so hurt by sis...This really hit home. I've been so hurt by sisters in Christ who tell me all my hard work is in vain or that my house couldn't always look so organized, or that my children must not enjoy their childhood or homeschooling, or any other amount of hurtful words. I sacrifice a lot to get things done & keep them like that. Yes it's exhausting & yes I often neglect wants, even needs sometimes but that's my choice. It's hurtful when women you love feel bad about themselves because of some sacrifice you've made for your family & then they break you to pieces for it. Thank you for writing this.

I tend to see just the great parts of a whole handful of homeschool moms and create this mythical homeschool mom that has it all together. I end up jealous of an unrealistic image that I've created in my mind, not a single person that I could look up to and learn from.Cristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032299329910192166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378570158007048546.post-40703752609020335802013-04-23T13:33:54.062-05:002013-04-23T13:33:54.062-05:00I LOVE THIS!

No one should ever discourage another for being successful, due to hard work and training (or even natural skill), in an area where they are not. <br /><br />I would like to temper the idea of someone seeking out another's "secrets", with their willingness to do the hard work that is necessary to conquer their problem. I far too often hear, "How do you do that?". As soon as I tell them, I begin to hear the excuses as to "why" they "could never do that".Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963304618238610871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5378570158007048546.post-72528587570978578472013-04-23T10:14:00.660-05:002013-04-23T10:14:00.660-05:00I love your last paragraph.

I tend to gravitate towards those who have it the same as I do. :) I don't like to feel alone in the world. Hahaha. No, seriously, I do envy those mom's some, but I know they could teach me a lot.

It doesn't make you proud or "above" others! <br /><br />No one should ever make anyone feel bad about being good at something or force them to defend that!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11261984196395653980noreply@blogger.com
