This parenting thing isn't so hard. Its actually going fairly easy. Not much effort goes into the actual "parenting" part but a ton of effort goes into the thought process of BEING a parent. What does it mean to parent? What is right? What is wrong? How do people do this? Why dont people do this? What time did she eat? What time did she poop? Why is she crying? Why wont she sleep? Can the neighbors hear her? What day did she have a bath last? She enjoys baths can she have every night? Did we buy the right thing? Why doesnt she like her co-sleeper? Why would she like her crib? Why is she so far away? Can I hold her all night? Can I let her cry? She likes this show? WHY?
The answers are all simple. She's a tiny human. There is no "right or wrong" way to wear this cape as long as general and other wise child neglect is avoided. Parenting is the survival of a tiny baby to a big baby in whatever way you can get there!
For me right now, my biggest struggle is letting her be a BABY. Guess, I missed the memos on babies crying and it being OK.
I wish I had a relax button. We are making it and doing well!! Not everything is how I planned. In fact NOTHING is but I have the greatest baby.
Please put a hole in society's balloon and take off my mask!
