Hi Emily

Oh honey, I’ve been there and it hurts every. single. time. Truth be told, I used to flip off my mom behind the door when I was teenager because she wouldn’t let me do one thing or another LOL …. BUT, I loved her then and I love her now and if something were to happen to her I would die inside. You know she loves you, but I just wanted you to know it’s normal, it will happen again (and again) and this to shall pass

I just stumbled onto your website and your story about the confrontation with your daughter. I’ve raised 2 children and my granddaughters are now 4 and 2. I always thought that if my children didn’t say “I hate you” once in awhile that I wasn’t doing my job. It did happen occasionally, but now they come to me for advice on many things, including child rearing. It sounds like you are doing great at one of the hardest and most rewarding jobs there is.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Hi Emily! Your posts are so validating and refreshing. Parenting is the hardest job I have ever truly loved. It takes tremendous stamina, big shoulders, and small moments to admit it is okay, enough is enough, and draw the line in the sand. That is the courage and determination that drives us to be the mothers that our children are always thankful for and will understand more and more as they grow. We are thankful for mothers like you, who stay in the moment and work your way through the tress so you and your family can see the forest. Love it! cindy platt´s last blog post..Mothers Who…

Hi Emily! – have you had your braces for a while? I am considering them even this stage in the game : )

I’ve been trying to “chill” about the house stuff. It will always be here. I love the example you are setting for your kids – fun times are most important.

Oh, my son told me I was the meanest mom ever yesterday. I shouted YES! I told him I always wanted to be told that. It worked. He couldn’t help but laugh.

xoxoxo – happy mom’s day.
