Thank you for the quote and the link.

Mothers are awesome! Everyone in the whole damn world should remember that and stop judging them every five seconds.

I know-- I guess every mother knows-- just what you mean about the asinine advice and misguided belief that it's a do-nothing job. Finding and taking the right advice is like walking through a minefield.

The best advice I ever got was from an little old lady who lived next door to my mom. She told me to chill out. :)

'Chill out' IS some of the best advice! It all seems to work out eventually as long as you love them.

the advice... oooh, the advice. learning to trust my gut has been the most beneficial parenting tool of all. and it never ceases to amaze me how much love there can be between mother and child. :)

Yeah, developing and listening to my mother's instinct is getting easier the longer I am a mom. :)
