Bad Mother
I feel like such a bad mother lately. It has a little to do with not taking care of Lily and miriam well since I have to hold Eliza most of the time. Mainly this feeling came after I took the girls to the dentist last week. This was just Lily's 2nd cleaning. Miriam went first and they found 3 cavities. She has several fillings and caps already, but has had no cavities the past couple of cleanings. Then it's lily's turn. I thought she would have better teeth than Miriam since her mouth is different. I was wrong and they found 5 cavities. This is probably mainly my fault. While I constantly remind the girls to brush, I am not good and following up and making sure they do. So therefore, they do not brush like they should. I feel so bad, because I don't want them to go through what it takes to fill a cavity. Especially Lily since they have to sedate her. I am worried about how she'll handle it. I feel like I'm the only mother who let's her kids get cavities. It is partially genetic though. I had cavities as a kid and all my back teeth have fillings. I was really down about this last week and will be when it is close to the day to fix their teeth.

You are not a bad mother.. we all have things that we are weak at, I promise. My oldest dd has had two cavities and she handled it just fine.
My oldest has had a few fillings. I felt bad, too, because I never had any growing up and felt like I didn't follow through with my kids as well as I could have, either. So you aren't alone! Good to see you for a split second today! Eliza is beautiful!
