So, is it just me...
Last weekend we had a Hello Kitty birthday party. I did all the normal stuff...cake, party plates and napkins, favor bags. And that's fine. But, why do I obsess that my house must be perfectly clean. Or freak out if the decorations aren't perfect. I'm trying to remind myself that the kids really will only remember the fun, and not if the vacuum lines were still in the carpet. They'll remember that the food was good...and not that everything matched the theme. So, why is it that I struggle with giving my kids the best party on the planet. Why do I try to be "Supermom"? My kids will love me regardless. I need to not stress out about the details.

i think that it is social conditioning. girls/women always think that they're being judged. i did the same thing for years... 5 and 4 will soon beat it out of you. (because boys REALLY don't care so long as the food and the loot bags are good!) i finally gave it up around the time that 11 turned 7.
