Part of the reason that I wrote this is because I did all of the “right” things, got the “right” degree and the “right” job, and it got me 10 hour workdays at a desk. That’s the prize? I’m so grateful for my job, but in some ways, I feel like I was duped into believing that this was the goal, the “win.”

Thanks for commenting – I think if kids grow up to be happy and independent, then we’ve done our jobs.

After growing up and being told (repeatedly, even at age 35) what I should or shouldn’t do with my life, I came to the conclusion that I want my kids to be able to take care of themselves in adulthood and be happy. That’s it. If they get degrees, great, if not, no worries. I know of too many people who followed a parent’s path to happiness instead of their own…and it’s just not worth the misery.

Great letter!

The teething necklace is a miracle from heaven! Teething stages are the worst for both babies and parent. These “fashion” statements aid a lot in gaining more sleep for both parties. Ehe.

Um… continue planned evening downstairs instead of in bedroom? Still, that IS adorable! When I was little, my mom worked nights. I’d tuck myself into her bed so that she’d have to wake me when she got home. Only I never remembered her coming home anyway.
