S3EP7: My #1 Insight on Parenting my Pre-Teens as a Working Mom
Ever wonder if parenting gets any easier? The answer is yes and no.
Baby stage:
🥴 It was hard with the multiple feedings and nap schedules; they need you all the time because their life depends on you.
💕 It was easy because all they wanted was to cuddle and snuggle with you, and that was enough.
Toddler stage:
🥴 It was hard because of the potty training and the "three-nager" tantrums. They learned to have a voice, saying "no," and figuring out what boundaries they could push (i.e., can I stick my finger inside the wall outlet?)
💕It was easy because now I didn't have to lug around as much baby stuff, and our schedule seemed to open up more because we were down to one nap a day. They still thought every new experience was cool and interesting.
Elementary Age:
🥴 When my kids started elementary school, there was homework, after-school activities, etc. It was challenging to manage a schedule for myself and my kids while also trying really hard not to compare myself to other moms who were sharing what their kids were doing as after-school activities.
💕 Parenting became a little easier because my kids were even more independent. They could pack their snacks and lunch, brush their own teeth, and be responsible for their things without needing me.
