Thanks for the article. Reminds me of the struggles when my kids were younger. I was tired all the time. And always doubting whether I did the right thing. And was sure i did the “wrong” terrible thing in more than one occasion. Thankfully they turn out okay, as far as I can tell. Phew. And you know what. You have nothing to prove. You already belong. All of us. I find this incredibly comforting.
Thank you so much! And apologies for taking so long to respond. The whole world melted the day after I wrote this and I'm just beginning to come up for air. It's true that when they're little it feels so easy to get things wrong all the time! And maybe it *is* easier because the kids' needs are so unbelievably demanding. It's definitely helpful to remember not everything is so high stakes :) Thank you for reminding me I don't have anything to prove. Your kindness means a lot. <3
Thanks for sharing Stephanie's interview! So relatable and lovely. And gosh I relate to so much of this. Some days I wish there was a switchboard where I could make sure the right messages get to the right part of our son's memory and the dials are turned to the right level of caution/playful etc. But alas that doesn't exist!
