RE: The Destructive Power of Perfectionism
I've got 4 kiddos too. Ages range from 11-2 and I just learned about Abraham Hicks and Law of Attraction a few years ago. We had already decided to homeschool and pull away from societal norms prior to that knowledge, but it is still such a challenge to deprogram yourself from all the years of guilt & shame in the old standard parenting game. I don't blame my parents because I believe they did the best they could with what they had. I can't imagine where I'd be if I hadn't had the internet to research all this new-to-me info! Anyway, thanks for sharing about the Star Wars night and you're right about the gratitude, but it's still hard to keep cool in those moments. But hey, we are never done, always learning, right?
It really is hard to totally let go of the old paradigm. I don't have any anger toward my parents either. They definitely did their best and for sure better than their parents. I am sure my kids will do better than I have. The Internet does make it a lot easier. I learned different parenting things through my homebirth classes and la leche league. Indeed, we are never done. Some days are easier to keep cool than others, no doubt about that.
