“Pardon us, happiness lives here.” I cannot tell you just how much I now I realize that this should have been the response to any and all (& there have been a lot) of the judgmental on-lookers or statement-makers that I have encountered along the way. When you are a parent, whether of a newborn…
It’s tiring, I know, but we’re going to talk parenting, okay? And we are not going to look at parenthood through rose-colored glasses, nor will we look at it as this huge fudging mountain that we have to climb. We will not make light of parenting, but we also won’t anticipate it to be as fun…
