It is relentless sometimes! Parenting is hard… simple! When I see my nearly five year old swing on her own for the first time, or climb the monkey bars for the first time and gleam with confidence in the pool…. my jaw drops in admiration and pride.
But parenting is hard!
My girlfriend just birthed a beautiful boy. Her first! I remember those days of tiresome endless feeding, burping, crying, changing, attempt at sleeping, over and over and over…. and over again. It was hard. Honestly, I think I have forgotten a lot of the fine details. If you remembered absolutely everything we wouldn’t have more then one, right? Ha!
I am privileged to be a part of a beautiful mumma village on Facebook and some of the advice, wisdom and support has gotten me through the tough days and moments. It didn’t seem fair to not share some of these fabulous comments, along with other “advice” I have collected over the years….
