It’s Okay to Not Love Every Moment, But You’ll Miss It
Mothering is difficult. And it really is okay to not love every moment of it. But when you’re at the other end of the field, you’ll miss it.

A false alarm reminded me that this was just one of the uncharted and scary territories I was entering now that I was alone in the house without a partner.
I wanted Keri to have kids. Now. This very second. And for her kids to have the exact same napping schedule as mine.
Good job on your twenties! You’ve made some bold and brave decisions. Even better, you’ve had some spectacular failures and learned so many things.
When you have a child with significant special needs, your parenting experience is forever altered, and you are changed.
I consider walking him right back to our house where he belongs because he is not ready for school. Still, I know the truth: He is plenty ready—I am not.
I’ve asked myself countless times over my 15 years of parenting, “When the bleep is this going to get easier?”
Researchers asked 1,700 people if they ever called someone by the wrong name. Have you ever done it?
On any given day, I go through such a range of emotions when it comes to my children that it makes my head spin. Love, happiness, anger, elation, pride, discouragement, worry, and then some.
I think that empathy helps make me a helpful, compassionate mother. But it’s also really freaking exhausting.
