[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m proud of you op!!! I’m proud because I feel like I’m navigating parenting teens WAY better than I navigated parenting babies/toddlers. I keep my cool during their arguments, and I’m always open to hugs and/or connection when they are in a better mood. We give them a lot of independence, but the things that are important to our family we are good at having consistent boundaries. [/quote] Thanks so much for sharing this - I needed to read this. I am struggling mightily with the toddler phase. OP, you are amazing! In all seriousness, what advice would you give someone with embarrassingly less on her plate who feels overwhelmed? My win is much smaller, but after struggling with on and off back issues since high school, I am SO PROUD of myself that after 6 years of working hard on my core strength and overall fitness, I was able to go out four times to shovel snow/ice w DH on Sunday and Monday. I was shocked by how strong I felt and how much I was able to do, and I feel a surge of pride every time I look at our wonderfully clear driveway.[/quote] Awesome![/quote]
