Probably hormones

ailbheI feel like such a bad mother. Bad parent. Bad mother. I'm not sure which is worse.
Today, it's because as far as I know neither of my children can read. Other people tell me Linnea can but I've had limited evidence of that myself, and less and less of late, as she practices writing instead. I mean, they are three and five, so not reading isn't all that unusual, except that I think perhaps EVERYONE I know could read before they were five and so could all their children.
Also, I know children younger than Emer who count better, which proves I have neglected her and don't count things enough, not like we did with Linnea.
Presumably this will all feel better in a few days when I stop being so pimply and tired.

Then I feel like a bad mother for not seeing her as being as special as people who barely know her see her. (But they don't have to deal with the Meltdowns-R-Us days with her either.)
