Hi I'm Joy ๐Ÿ’• pfp

@mutheu.base.eth

My daughter turns one year old today, I'm also celebrating one year of motherhood. Remembering how painful childbirth is, the bleeding afterwards, the lack of sleep, the postpartum mania and depression, the body dysphoria, constantly wondering whether I'm mothering right, losing my spark, and so on. I wish society was honest about how brutal motherhood is instead of romanticism, I feel so proud of myself today. I have bounced back and I'm slowly regaining my spark back. Let me celebrate my one year of motherhood it has not been easy. Send usdc for mommy's wine ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ˜‰ to one year of motherhood ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿพ๐Ÿท

Enjoy it while your little ones still see you as a superhero. This is how they celebrate your wins once theyโ€™re teenagers. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ

We allow our kids to earn their own money to buy small things they want. Itโ€™s part of our parental effort to educate them on how to budget and become financially savvy with their money. When they make purchases, itโ€™s usually a toy and sometimes ice cream/boba. Among such simple choices, we watch them weigh the pros and cons of what they choose to buy. (Can I afford the extra toppings? Do I really want the larger size?) Theyโ€™re far from life-altering decisions, but they are balancing among choices and what they end up buying is the result of some level of sagacious judgment which yields the highest level of satisfaction. ๐Ÿ˜„

My son spending so much time on the phone with his GF apparently frees up a lot of time for me to zone out to videogames. (I also have been playing late at night on weekends; not completely abandoning my family lol).

Tea for breakfast. My daughter loves having tea from this miniature set that belonged to my mother, who loved using it as a child. It's a balance. I want my kids to grow into their own personalities, without being burdened by past generations. So, this tea set is stored in a cupboard and only comes out when my daughter asks for it. It should be her chiice when she searches connections with the past and when she is building the person she wants to be. How do you see this balance?

I've either severely misjudged how long it takes to unpack... Or moving with a toddler makes the unpacking process like 6x longer. Going on week 4 after moving and still unpacking.

My 11 yo is an avid reader. We frequently go to the library and sometimes to Barnes and Noble bookstore to buy her age-appropriate books for her age and reading level. Sheโ€™s partial to books that are in a comic book format where each page is a series of small frames within which illustrated characters are interacting and when they speak, there are word bubbles indicating who is speaking. Barnes and Nobles sells many of these types of books. My daughter chose one and it was over 200-pages long. I read the first few pages and it was about friends going to some summer camp at a lake with a bunch of other kids. There were camp counselors at the camp directing activities for many groups of kids. It all seemed innocuous enough. Well, my 11 yo daughter kept reading the book over and over from front to back and I wondered what the draw was to keep her coming back for more. So, I read the entire book. It only took about 30 mins or so. To my surprise, about 100 pages into the book, one of the boys was hurting himself because he didnโ€™t know how to deal with his feelings. 150 pages into the book, it got into two very young boys around 10 years old who were best friends discovering they have non-platonic feelings for each other. These topics were not disclosed on the face or inside cover of the book. They were far from conspicuous and there was zero indication from the illustrations or anywhere else that self-harm and exploration of homosexuality. This is what adulting is like today. This is the last time Iโ€™m accepting guilt or shame from anyone for accusing me of being a helicopter parent. Be ready to talk with your young children about difficult topics perhaps much sooner than youโ€™d hoped. From Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Goodnight Moon to self-harm, suicidal thoughts about drowning, and sexuality - all within the space of kindergarten to sixth grade. Good luck to all you parents out there.
