Parenting requires a blend of flexibility and boundaries. I have been growing in the areas of flexibility and boundaries, suffering consequences of putting one above the other along the way. Nothing has developed these more in me than parenting. Boundaries become more tangible when we are aware of our need for them. Children act as a magnifying glass on that need.
Our parenting choices are all a piece of a larger puzzle. We know that the things we do for our children whether they’re newborns, toddlers, in elementary school or teenagers has an effect on them in the future. If it didn’t, why would we bother?
For the last week I haven’t liked breastfeeding Smunchie. Not just not enjoyed it but skin crawling, hair pulling, hiding in the bathroom couldn’t stand it. I can’t tell you how much I’ve hesitated to admit this. Before you go running for the outfit find that makes the boobies completely inaccessible to your nursling let me explain what keeps me going and my tips to make it a little easier.
