So true. We can't do it all. Just not possible and, so what? Really what's going to happen if you cook a bad dinner, miss a social event, don't sweep the floor, do less than your best on that article, forget the boss's birthday, call in sick and just take the day off? We punish ourselves and no one else really cares that much.
As an eldest daughter (also Italian American) prone to people pleasing this resonates so deeply!!!

I love this and can relate to so much of it!
