We have all these moms at work who just baffle me. One in particular who just gets so bent out of shape about everything. Instead of enjoying their small children they are lost in this cycle of working mom guilt and introspection that distracts them from seeing the FUN part of watching a child grow!
Relax! Take a moment and laugh at yourself. I fully believe that parents are their child's most important teacher, but that doesn't mean you can learn from others too!
Let them get messy. Let them stay up late and get off schedule sometimes. Let them have refined sugar and French fries every so often. Let them discover on their own without you hovering. It's hard to let go of that control, but it's crucial.
