Parenthood Got You Down?
August 30, 2011
Can we all agree on one thing? Having a baby is not just a fabulous, enriching experience that opens up your capacity for love and endless opportunities for personal growth.
It's also miserably hard work.
Click through for the rest of this NPR article "Parenthood got you down? You're not alone."
The writer discusses the trials of being a parent and asks others to "...be honest with each other, or at least one friend, that there are times when the whole enterprise feels like a bad idea."
Do you recall a time when you felt conflicted as to whether you could handle this thing called "parenthood?" What was the breaking point? Are parents too afraid to admit the "bad" stuff? Is honesty and outside support the key to keeping your sanity?
