The Munchkin and I have been back in Berlin for a few days now. As expected, I could not do any studying during the stay at my father’s house. I am so behind on everything, I don’t even know how to start back up at this point. Our baby’s Kita holidays will end on July 30 – only after that I’ll be able to get back to studying properly. Time is SO running out on me, but somehow I am not managing to be disciplined enough or to study through the nights or whatever it is I would need to do to get where I need to be. Apart from a million other things, one thought keeps nagging at me: My mother would be so disappointed. She simply excelled in academia, was very focused and never failed to reach her goals. Honestly, I do wonder just what exactly is wrong with me.

Nothing is wrong with you. You are juggling a lot at the same time, and a child takes tons of energy and focus if you want them to turn out right. Most importantly, you are not your mother. Don’t imagine she’d be disappointed in you, because you’re probably wrong. I bet she would be impressed with your determination.
