The Parenting Lesson I Learned From My Youngest
I desperately wanted my kids to have an easier time dealing with the world than I did. But they’ve taught me so much.

Dear Mom: As a kid, I always thought it was funny that you didn’t get caught up in the hoopla that came with Mother’s Day.
Sometimes, our self-confidence dwindles. But has it always been that way? Are we born with doubt? Do we arrive on this earth not believing in ourselves?
Remember me? I’m the one who wrote to tell you all about the not-so-terrible-two’s a few months ago. I’m back to apologize because…I LIED.
My point today is that not EVERY situation requires intervention. We want to grow responsible, compassionate humans. To fail is to grow.
There are many feelings associated with parenting: joy, anxiety, love, and even fear.
“Women can’t have it all”, they say. “It’s not possible.”I wore that weight for a long time, thinking that I couldn’t have everything my heart desired.
It’s been very obvious since the day you were born that you would continue this family trend of strength, and while it makes me proud it also makes me nervous.
When it was just my husband and myself, it was SO easy to meal plan. We’d sit down once a week. But now we have a toddler…it’s impossible.
I’m a college-educated, successful businesswoman and mom. I even drive a Honda Pilot. And I still get judged because I have a lot of tattoos.
