There are times when I get "busy" and I don't want to be bothered. The kids bring me pictures and hug me or rub my belly or my arm to show they love me. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by so much attention and it makes me push them away. This is just the opposite of what I really want to do.
I want to accept their love but I have teach them how to love me too. I have started giving better boundaries so the kids don't feel rejected at those times and I don't feel overwhelmed. It is a balance that is hard for me to keep, but I certainly want the kids to feel accepted and loved by me.
