“No one can actually tell you anything. The only expert is the one who’s paying the closest attention.” This line made me have to pause reading and think. This is so true about so many things.
I don't have kids but this was aa beautiful read all the same. I'm starting to see compromise in a different way too in my relationship, where 50/50 is rarely what makes most sense, makes ut both feel seen or feels like the place we want to be in. The "you get this and I get this" feels a lot more reasonable!
Thank you Julia! It's so interesting you say this because I've been seeing more and more how the things I learn via parenting actually apply to all my adult relationships too. x
That last paragraph made me tear up! What a beautiful way to frame this. I have an almost 2 two year old and five year old and we’re only now slowly coming out of the difficult adjustment period. I see how much my 5 year old has given, given up, given to his sister as he has had to get used to not being the only kid. 💘
