I want to be everything

I am enjoying being a parent. I really am. I have two gorgeous "dream babies" that eat well, sleep well, provide cuddles on demand and fill our home with laughter. My toddler even chooses fruit over chocolate!

I know beyond any doubt that these are the happiest years of my life. Why then is my mind full of questions and my heart filled with doubt? Am I giving my children too much attention? Am I spending enough time with my kids? Am I providing my children with healthy, nutritious meals? Do they need more sugar for energy?

I know I spend every waking moment devoted to my family. Why then do I feel I need to push myself harder? I should stay at home, cook healthy meals and take my children out for walks in the park. I should get a job, earn an income to provide a better future and teach them to be financially independent.

I know life is about choices and I can't be everything at once. Why then do I want to be everything? How should I choose?

Love,

G.
