Teenagers.
The world says they are impossible. "Just you wait until they are teens and they hate you." That's so not true. The parenting advice Abbie gave is the way I was raised. I never rebelled against my parents, my husband didn't either. We both loved and respected our parents. Were we perfect? Def not, but neither of us were the impossible teens the world says we should've been! Don't let the world lie to you!

Toddler Chapter!

Moms are called to be the adult, the mature ones, we don't throw tantrums because we have life experience and know how to handle our emotions. Toddlers just got here 2 years ago lol. Social media likes to degrade toddlers for laughs, I have seen many mommy accounts call their toddlers *ssholes. "Moms are the emotional thermostat of the home". We set the tone! How we perceive our kids is important

Currently read the chapter on the newborn stage. It's a good thing to get into my head now how fleeting that stage goes. I know my son was very fussy but I really don't remember anything else from that stage. My focus for this new baby will be to just rejoice in all the hardships that newborns bring because it goes insanely fast.
