I Need Your Help
Friday, August 6, 2010 at 11:57AM Friends, I've been asked to write a follow-up to The Plan A Woman in a Plan B World: What to do When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan.
The title of the new book is The Plan A MOM in a Plan B World: What to do When Parenting Doesn't Go According to Plan.
The premise of the book is that parenting is full of surprises. The child we thought would be quiet is rambunctious. Our "intellectual" turns out to have learning disabilities. The son we thought would be a preacher is a hellion. Our adult daughter calls home and announces she's in a lesbian relationship. Whether you have a toddler who is running you up the wall (literally), a tween (who thinks she sixteen), or a thirty something (who is jobless and wants to move home), could you give a shout out, "Parenting is full of surprises!"
There are tons of books on parenting. This is not one of them. Rather, The Plan A MOM in a Plan B World is about you. What do moms feel sometimes? Hopeless. Disappointment. GUILT. Resentment. Like a martyr...just to name a few. These emotions can have a negative effect. Like the land mines we talked about in The Plan A Woman, they can maim us. They can hurt us and those with whom we have a relationship.
Here's where I need your help. If you've ever felt one of the following emotions in your role as a mother, please answer the following as applicable. Also, to protect others involved, please don't use real names. :) However, please shoot me an email so if I have a question, I can email you back. Thanks!
I've felt ___________________________. (Disappointed, Competitive, Exhausted, Like a Martyr, Hopeless, Resentful, Jealous, Guilt, Wronged, Manipulated, Grief, Frustration, Worried, Angry, ____you fill in the blank.)
a) What event(s) led up to you feeling that way?
b) What was your first reaction?
c) What did you eventually do?
d) How did it help/not help?
e) If you had it to do over again, what would you do differently?
f) What advice do you have for someone who may be in that situation or have that feeling right now?
g) Is there a Scripture that might help them through it?
Thanks! You can comment here or email me: debbie@debbietaylorwilliams.com
Also, if you have a funny kid story or parenting moment, I'm all ears. Email me. :)
