1.
Never mind what the Jones are doing? Do what works in your family culture.
2.
Don’t feel you have to do it all.
3.
If you don’t think or feel like another mom
does, there is nothing wrong with you.
4.
Decline gracefully, no need to explain
5.
Different can be fair. Different children often need differing
things from the parents.
6.
Communicate your needs…Don’t expect others
to read your mind.
7.
Let others have their own ways, choices and
desires.
8.
Who wants a clone? That’s boring and it causes things to be
boring and one person becomes irrelevant.
9.
Remember, few of us are Mother
Theresa. All you need to do is fulfill
your calling as the mother of your children.
10.
Say “no” to false guilt.
Mothers
and fathers (I only can speak for moms)need to give up the super hero approach
to life. It only makes you and all those
who have to live with you a little crazy.
You have permission to just be you!
