Im an unemployed uni student single mom of 2 10B, 8G. Today they felt particularly picky about what there was to eat so I caved and went to the grocery store to buy some meat. There were four pieces, more than enough for us 3. My son has been into cooking lately, & I like to foster this interest so I allowed him to cook them. When he was done, he had eaten 2 of the pieces and my daughter was upset about not receiving the equal amount, leaving none for me. I melted down and cried about them being greedy and inconsiderate of me. I hardly ever cry now but this had struck a nerve. How did I grow such children? Greedy, inconsiderate little sh*ts that do not care about each other or their mother? I'm trying so hard to make ends meet, and I'm burden with all the child rearing as the exH is irresponsible yet they do not care about mom. I cried so hard in front of them and my heart feels so tired. Have I been too nice? They truly live a life where they dont need to think about me or each other and I feel like I fucked up. They cried upon seeing me cry but I'm left feeling like I fucked up.

I've had more than one chat with my 9 year old about how I'm a person too. And that I don't exist to make sure she is entertained every single second or to give up my needs for her wants.
It's a bit of a slog, but I think she is slowly getting it. She's a great kid. Just that still-developing brains be difficult to teach at times!
