We have a fourth-grader and a sixth-grader, as of yesterday, Internets. Can I just tell you that I was more ready for them to go to school this summer than I was last summer?
Before I launch into this post about what exactly this means to me, I'd like to call upon Momastery, which I read religiously, and who tells me (and tens of thousands of other people) that this is not only okay, it is how I am supposed to feel. This one talks about how different moms feel capable and comfortable with their children at different ages, and there are ages that are just not our favorite. I talked about some of these challenges in this post. To get a sense of what made Momastery the informal expert on the downside of parenting, read this post, which launched her mainstream and helped her get a book deal. It's amazing to read, and I check for more from her every day. She's also long-winded, as I am.
