Somebody say, “Amen!”

Amen! And, thank you, Simplemom, for this post.  It was actually written by one of her columnists, Corey Allan.

Don’t let the title fool you… read on. It’s a breath of fresh air and a good reminder for me during my attachment-parenting-style days.  It reminds me of advice from my mom – “You have to fill yourself up sometimes, or you will have nothing to give to pour out on your kids.” My midwife reminded me shortly after my daughter’s birth that each child is given their unique parents for a reason. They need to learn from you, like, the REAL you!

And, let’s remember that our job as parents is not to raise children. We are raising adults. This article encourages that with wonderfully specific advice.
