Need a hug

I need words of encouragement I feel amazingly stressed and at a loss of what is really important. I do things for people because I love them not because I always like it but was informed that it is not good enough to do it for that reason. Why do you do things?? I cook and clean because I know my husband likes it and I love him and our kids. I eat healthy because I love my self and my family and I want to be here for them. I do the laundry because I love my kids enough not to send them out dirty not because I like laundry....

    You should feel good about yourself knowing that you take such good care of your family.

    Your husband and your children are LUCKY to have you. You are a gift to them!

    You don't HAVE to do these things that you do, you do them because you are a good person, and you care about your family.

    That makes you a wonderful person, and a great woman. <3

    *hugs*

    *hugs* I know the feeling. I'm a stay at home mom of 3, and it can be a very trying job. My husband can be a bit mean to me when he's overly stressed, and it's frustrating. *more big hugs*
