When the reality hits… You’re raising them to need you less.
The challenges are real, but so are the rewards.
I chose to be a mom and my first most important job is raising good humans. #motherhood #raisinghumans #whiteprivilege #blacklivesmatter #humanity #humanrights #love #kids #stopteachingracism (at Davie, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIeuIN8H49y/?igshid=sgiwpsx24mce
I know this topic is very controversial, but I've snooped on my partner's phone. Have you? When is this legitimate? Here's some of my thoughts-- https://kerrymcavoyphd.com/why-cell-phone-snooping-sometimes-is-right-to-do/?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=tumblr&utm_medium=kmcavoyphd&utm_content=Why%20Cell%20Phone%20Snooping%20Sometimes%20Is%20Necessary
What a true statement. I can tell you that growing up, I went through some STUFF. And, still, there has been so much in my son's life that I just didn't know how to handle. "Kids" today are different. The world is so different. But, what it means to be a kind and decent human being, I believe, has not changed. Isn't it also true that most parents also want to do "better" or differently than their parents did? While I was fortunate to have never doubted how much I was loved by mom, today, as a parent, I aim to provide the much needed guidance to my son (or any young people in my life) that my own mother was unable to give. It isn't until you become a parent yourself that you realize just how tricky it is to raise a human being, and that we're all just doing the best we can with what we have. #parenting #momlife #forgiveness #alwaysdoyourbest #raisinghumans #tuesday #thoughts #picoftheday #photooftheday #potd #LOVE #alwayslearning #stilllearning https://www.instagram.com/p/B92Ht8zgElA/?igshid=1duta4xfu5l4i
My back hurts and I'm dying for pizza & french fries.
Oh pregnancy. 😂
12 weeks here (13 weeks currently)
I hate when I give my little a hug and send him off to dad's, then hear him crying in the car that he wants to come back in and stay at my house 😭
Close second is his incoherent behavior when he first comes back from dad's house.
