[quote=Anonymous]“People” have so. many. opinions. when it comes to kids and parenting.

Whether it’s your co-workers, family members, or the lady on line behind you at Target, assume everyone has good intentions, but take it all with a grain of salt.

Some people’s idea of “hard” isn’t hard at all for other people. And the reverse is true, as well. And some kids are just harder than others at certain stages. So there’s no way to make accurate apples -to-apples comparisons.

(Also, many of us with teens are so far removed from our kids’ first year of life, that it’s hard to remember the difficulties accurately. Far easier to remember the good stuff - time has a way of doing that! 😊)

Here’s the best advice I ever got on this topic: Remember that everything with your kids is a phase! If you’re enjoying the present phase, soak it up and enjoy it! If you’re not enjoying it, remind yourself that it’s not forever. Kids change so quickly and next thing you know, they’ll have grown out of it and moved on to something else. So hold on loosely and don’t think too far in advance. Just ride the waves as they come. ❤️
