Just wanted to share with the bees

That's lovely and I hope to be that parent some day.
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.
I don't know how it's possible to stop worrying though!!
-
Love this! The worrying and guilt are the things I most need to (and do often!) work on.
-
In considering writing some or all of these on our chalkboard wall in our kitchen as a reminder!
-
@hellobeeboston: that would be a great idea!
I struggle with worry and guilt. I also think I will struggle with giving up my own childhood story.
-
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!
-
Wow, I really love this. Just shared it with DH
-
@Mrs. Pen: YES. Good call!
-
great article! I need to work on letting go of worry the most.
-
I am working on the worry one!! 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!?)
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.
