Blog that made me think...

I think that many of the moms on here who are having a tough day with daycare drop off and missed field trips could benefit from this. And moms who are transitioning to staying at home too.

I do not think that my relationship with my daughter has suffered because I work. I may not be doing all the "jobs" associated with parenthood, but she still loves me and is excited to see me at the end of the day. I also know that I am not cut out for full time parenthood, as the jobs tend to drag me down.

Thanks for sharing I totally teared up at this part:

That's why old ladies come up to us when we're half dead with a 6-week-old strapped to our lopsided leaky chests as we're waddling into the drugstore at 7 am to buy more diapers and say, "Enjoy this time!" They don't remember the jobs. They don't know it, but what they really mean is "Enjoy this person, this relationship that you're starting and that's only going to get better but also more complicated, and this love that will make you hurt and make you vibrate with the rest of the universe. Your boobs will stop leaking and diapers are only for a short time and you will survive, but this relationship is your chance to be better than just yourself."
