Motherhood

I am a single parent of a wonderful, challenging boy. I was watching a repeat of Oprah "The truth about Motherhood." Some of the things that were brought up in the show were things that I thought I was alone in thinking ! After watching the show I realized something. A friend had given me some advice a number of years ago while Kane was still small. "We do what we have to do to keep our kids happy and us sane." I knew consciously that some of the shortcuts that we Moms and Dads make may make us feel less than a perfect parent, but as long as its not harming our children, why not do it ? Do you really believe that your child is going to remember how many baths he or she took, or didn't take ? No what he or she will remember is the time they spent with you cuddling, reading a book on the couch or watching a video while cuddling on the couch. Thanks
