Peggy in Italy

It’s so hard to be a Mom. Yesterday, Melly and Maya stayed with their Zia Sara while I taught my lessons. When we came to pick Melly up, she burst in to tears crying that wanted to stay for dinner at her aunt’s house. Sara had invited her inlaws for dinner and Melly desparately wanted to stay asking me why we hadn’t been invited.

I just sometimes feel that she is too sensitive. Whenever it is time to say goodbye to anyone after having had a playdate, she always ends up in tears. Everyday when she gets home from school she asks me “Where can we go today? Who can we visit?” We try to have at least one playdate per week, but it’s not enough for her. She gets bored at home and always wants company. I try to explain to her that i am tired and need my time at home every now and then. We usually end up arguing because she gets angry that we can’t visit anyone.

Is this just a phase? I hope so. Because sometimes I feel like i have done everything wrong. I don’t see other kids gets so upset over things like her. It looks like i need to hit the parenting books once more.
