My Private Life has Left the Building
I’m a (mostly) stay-at-home parent who told Liesl I’d be glad to post to the new Voice parenting blog in an apparent (get it????) fit of insanity. I’ve probably seen a blog once or twice, why in the world would I think I have anything interesting to say in public about being a mom? But it seemed like such a good idea at the time.
Sometimes I feel like I’m about to win the “Joan Crawford Mother of the Year” award for my parenting style. But one of my strengths is my ability to obsess ad nausea about things I’ve done and don’t like (or things my daughter does that I don’t like) until I’ve come up with every possible reason why. Of course, my most popular conclusion is that my mother was a horrible parent and I’m merely the victim. Hopefully she doesn’t know what a blog is...
After a week of anxiety of not being able to be erudite and funny simultaneously, here I am, emptying out my tiny brain of thoughts about parenting. The things we do for our therapists!
