some archived stories that deserve a spot here + a glimpse inside of my brain/heart as a parent w 🫶🏽anxiety🫶🏽 the girls are growing before my eyes and lately i’ve been so overwhelmed at the thought of being responsible for raising children who will become actual adults one day. what schools to send them to? what skills to teach them? am i being too hard? too soft? do i give enough hugs? what about their nutrition? sleep schedule? screen time? how will this all impact them? what things am i doing now that they will resent me for in the future? parenting in today’s “woke” society is extremely exhausting for my already-anxious mind. i feel like everywhere i turn people are talking about their childhood traumas or the need to heal their inner-child, and the only thing i can think about is what my kids need to “heal” from when they become adults? it’s easy for me to spiral when it comes to this topic bc it’s truly one that weighs on me each and every day. i don’t know what the future holds or how my parenting decisions will impact them as adults, but i do know that every single one that i make will be made with so much thought, care, love, and intention — and for now, that’ll have to be enough 💛
