I am working so hard on it as my mom was the biggest worrier on the planet and it really was such a tough thing to see and i internalized some of that and I really don't want to do that to my kids -(giving up my childhood story much!?)<br /> The guilt one I am past mercifully. I read somewhere once that guilt is lazy self indulgence, if you feel guilty about something, either fix it or forget it but droning on about it is a waste of time and effort that could be better used. It really resonated with me and I really try to live by that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-a-happy-parent#post-977372 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 08:28:21 +0000 NovBaby1112 977372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>great article! I need to work on letting go of worry the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-a-happy-parent#post-977340 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 08:19:38 +0000 hellobeeboston 977340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: YES.

Just shared it with DH :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-a-happy-parent#post-976465 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:48:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 976465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would add giving up what people think of you. there is always someone judging you and it can get so hard to be confident in your decisions as a mom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-a-happy-parent#post-976435 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:32:45 +0000 mrskc 976435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: that would be a great idea! </p> <p>I struggle with worry and guilt. I also think I will struggle with giving up my own childhood story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-a-happy-parent#post-976430 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:29:46 +0000 hellobeeboston 976430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In considering writing some or all of these on our chalkboard wall in our kitchen as a reminder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-a-happy-parent#post-976415 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:19:50 +0000 Running Elley 976415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this! The worrying and guilt are the things I most need to (and do often!) work on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-a-happy-parent#post-976412 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 17:15:53 +0000 AprilFool 976412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's lovely and I hope to be that parent some day. </p> <p>I especially love the no yelling and talk to DH about this all the time. I want no yelling in my house, would rather we talk it out. </p> <p>I don't know how it's possible to stop worrying though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-things-you-should-give-up-to-be-a-happy-parent#post-974450 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 07:18:01 +0000 hellobeeboston 974450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://thechildwhisperer.com/15-things-give-up-happy-parent/" rel="nofollow">http://thechildwhisperer.com/15-things-give-up-happy-parent/</a></p> <p>Someone shared this on FB and I thought it was nice --- a few thing in there I need to work on for sure (especially the worrying!)</p> <p>Just wanted to share with the bees :) </p>
