I’m surprised by how much of parenting is just filling out forms. When my kids actually remember to hang up their wet towels after a shower. And absolutely floored by the fact that each stage of child-rearing seems to grow increasingly more challenging instead of less.  One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that parenting is a two-way street.

Unfortunately ..read more
