Kudos to Redbook for declaring November 30, 2011 as No-Judgment Day!
Ever since our book was published in 2005, we have had the pleasure of hearing sighs of relief from people all over the world when we remind them none of us became parents to be tormented and miserable our entire lives. Parenting is a learning process and, thank goodness, our children are very forgiving of our goofs along the way. Now, it is time once again to follow the lead of the children and say, “It’s OK. We’re doing the very best we can and we’d love to all support each other.”
It’s great to see stories like the one from Charlotte Hilton Andersen of moms helping each other out instead of criticizing or competing. What have you done to support a parent in the past and what can you do today, and everyday, to keep the love paying forward?
As Devra likes to say, “The grass is always greener on the other side so let’s take down the fence and practice beautiful lawn maintenance for everyone!”
