But feeling like I have to enjoy every moment doesn't feel like a gift, it feels like one more thing that is impossible to do, and right now, that list is way too long." </p> runsyellowlites on "You are Not a Terrible Parent" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-are-not-a-terrible-parent#post-769445 Thu, 09 May 2013 09:01:54 +0000 runsyellowlites 769445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love!!!</p> <p>Something my mom has always told me will forever stick with me... When I feel down on myself and think/say things like "I'm a horrible/terrible/sucky parent" she reminds me that I am not any of those things because truly bad parents don't ever think they're bad parents.... She uses the same thing when I tell her I feel dysfunctional. hehe. </p> Dandelion on "You are Not a Terrible Parent" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-are-not-a-terrible-parent#post-769267 Thu, 09 May 2013 08:10:02 +0000 Dandelion 769267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother shared this with me the other day.

I really appreciated this article and thought some of you might too. <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-wiens/let-me-be-the-one-who-says-it-out-loud_b_3209305.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-wiens/let-me-be-the-one-who-says-it-out-loud_b_3209305.html</a> </p>
