I got too attached to writing the perfect Mother’s Day post, so it’s now a draft I’ll return to later.

Now, I want to talk about the struggle to parent respectfully in a culture that delights in disrespecting children and punishing them for their developmentally appropriate behavior.
But that sounds like a lot of work. And my kid just asked for food.
So let this be my blog post.
Brief.
I am here.
Life goes on.
Love makes life beautiful.
