Taking the Scenic Route

A post on MDC.  I just love this comment.  It is from a parenting discussion (discussing the insanity of 3 year olds) (link here)

Good luck – it’s tough for sure. You’re not suppossed to be raising children pretty much by yourself. They are set up to be way more needy than that. It’s like trying to get a lawnmower engine to power an Expedition. But we all just clunk along as best we can and everything is FINE. Life is still wonderful and they are alive and fed and warm at least – and loved! It doesn’t have to be “perfect”! And I bet if you tried to pin down what a perfect childhood looked like you’d have a bunch of nutty contradictions and total impossibilities.                           ~momea, MDC member
