I have just read some of your latest entries and oh, can I relate. I hate "mommy dating" too and I really wish that mamas weren't so hard on one another. I wish that we could all look at one another with empathy and realize that we are doing the best we can with what we have. I miss the old days (when I was but a wee lass) when people minded their own business. It's one of the hardest things about being a mama, I think. The guilt doesn't help, either.

Which is what made me comment today. Isn't it unbelievable how hard this "job" is? When you're childless, you think you know everything. You know how you want to do it, how others SHOULD do it and what your child will be like (respectful, of course). You say you won't let them have candy, or pop and that your child will never talk back to you or scream like that in the market. But, the reality is much much different.

luckily, you can never fully wrap your brain around how much your heart will ache with love and pride and joy for your child, either... so that none of that stuff ends up mattering when it comes right down to it.

I miss hearing about your life. I hope you're doing well.
