Being a mom has allowed me to unlock a level of self confidence I didn't think possable
I've always been a self conscious person. Worrying about how I look, making sure I don't dress too weirdly but recently I had a moment that was kind of earth shaking.
My daughter is 2 and we recently moved with family into a new neighborhood. A few days ago I noticed another mom in her front yard with a little boy around my girls age running around. No hesitation I grabbed her and went over to say hi. The mom was very friendly and agreed to have a yard playdate with her 1 year old son and bubbles.
Only after we made it back to the house did I realize I was in my pj's. Not normal pj's but 2 piece old lady matching star pj's. At no point did I worry about how I looked, didn't even think about it, just wanted to see if I could make her a new friend. It's not much but I'm going to harness this lack of care to make myself more about to be social for her. Anyone else loose anxiety when it comes to their kids?
