Hellobee Boards

Thank you so much for sharing. I've had some really tough parenting days this past week and needed this. It made me tear up!

Thanks for this!! I've definitely needed this reassurance lately. Perfect timing!

@BabyBoecksMom: @SweetiePie: thanks for both of these articles! I really needed them today and will bookmark them for the future.

Holy shit. I was ready to agree with all you ladies until I read the article. She has SIX kids??? My day with a threenager and clingy shadow of a 14m old is probably a vacation to her!

@regberadaisy: yes! This one specifically hit me when he still had that pesky 4am wakeup and I was tired and wished he'd just sttn. But then I read the part about savoring those quiet moments alone and it really made a difference.
I still jumped for joy when he sttn a few weeks later But it made me treasure those last few weeks instead of lament them.

@SweetiePie: I didn't finish reading this yet but OH MY GOSH, it's so good already!

@Mrs. Lion: yes! I cry at that part and this:

I am sure there will come a day when no one needs me. My babies will all be long gone and consumed with their own lives. I may sit alone in some assisted living facility watching my body fade away. No one will need me then. I may even be a burden. Sure, they will come visit, but my arms will no longer be their home.
