ToneswirlyAs a newish parent, this resonates with me. I’m flying by the seat of my fuckin pants over here.
Yeah. We had our boys in our early 20s. To say we grew up with them is to be honest. But I sure wouldn’t change a damned thing.
Most terrifying thing about becoming a parent, as raising just how little of a clue my own parents must have had to start with. I mean, all that time I was feeling safe and really, is a marvel we didn’t all die in a bath tub fire event!
Great observation. I always wondered how it was so easy for my parents until I realized no, it wasn’t. I always felt that if the house were to burn down I would be safe. Never thought twice about it, totally took them for granted.
I’d like to think that’s what foods parents do though, make the kids feel safe and protected. Hopefully it means yours were good ones :)
Excellent, I’m definitely fortunate. We didn’t have extra $$ but it never mattered much.

Around 5 years into it is when I felt like I finally hit my stride. Maybe it was because she went to kindergarten.
