I think that as a mother there are things we often question ourselves about. Like should I have done that? or was that the right thing to do? or am i giving my child everything he/she needs to grow and learn.
Believe me when i say that this has to be one of the hardest things to overcome as a mother. I'm constantly questioning whether I'm doing the right things for my daughter, are my decisions now going to affect her future? am i setting a good example?
There's, alot of things that come natural to me. My mom was a good mom in the sense that she just loved us so much, that she did everything for us.
But now I'm a mom, surprisingly i have great work ethic, even tho Ive never done a chore in my entire life, i don't know how to cook anything properly, I still manage to make it thru life pretending i do. i hold myself together pretty well, and well now I'm off topic so let me veer myself back into the direction i was going.
my maternal instincts. I'd say there really good, EXCEPT
every single day i question myself on Torrie's wardrobe, i know you think this might be a little looney tooney, but I'm serious here, don't send me to the cray cray house just yet.
I'm a big fan of the news, i also have a weather app on my phone, every morning i see what the weather is like and I dress Torrie appropriately for that day.
Torrie and I are just not fans of socks, or shoes for that matter, so when its going to be really nice, i throw on her sandals real quick (without socks) just to go to school in so i don't look like a total wack, even tho i think its still appropriate at her age not to wear shoes in public.
I also don't always put a jacket on. this is where my questioning comes into play.
Day 1: Torrie's wearing a nice short sleeved outfit and a skirt , which shows arms and most of her legs, shes also barefoot, its about 55 when i drop her off but feels like 60, high for the day will be around 80. she has no jacket on, but in her bag is a spare of warmer clothes and a jacket.
everyone else is wearing long pants and a jacket, and socks with shoes.
day two: same weather forecast, Torrie is wearing a tank top with Capri's, same spare clothes, and sandals.
everyone else is wearing long sleeves long pants and a jacket.
day three: Torrie is dressed similarly for the same forecast and I walk 20 feet out the door, turn back around, say to Torrie "lets have mommy be a good mom today" and i put a jacket and socks on her and take her to school.
am i wrong for not having her wear a jacket? If I was wearing a jacket and she wasn't, i would think this was odd, but if I'm comfortable without one, then she should be too. she isn't a newborn anymore, she should be comfortable, if not more comfortable then I am in certain weather conditions.
I mean these other parents dress their kids like its gong to drop to 30 below all the sudden.
I think its fair to say that maybe she should have a jacket on for the morning commute, but I just don't always agree, I don't understand why everyone is over dressing their kids? or am I under dressing mine?
and P.S
if you noticed in the beginning i posted sandals without socks, that s because some dingo mother, actually two dingo mothers dressed their children in sandals with socks, what kind of moron are you, your child looks terdy or nerdy or whatever. it looks ridiculous, those shoes are meant to be worn barefoot. don't teach your child stupid habits like that!!! On top of it they were the jelly sandals which i personally adore, and to me that's a mortal sin.
if its not warm enough to wear them without socks (which it 100% was) then don't wear them at all.
the end.
