Howdy,
As my kids grow up, I feel like I am failing as a mom.
Now, I know this isn't true, but hear me out.
When my kids were small. Like babies and well into elementary school, I knew everything about their lives.
- What they liked to eat (until they don't which always
throws me for a loop)
- What they absolutely detest (until they don't which always causes me to cheer)
- Their favorite stuffies
- Their bedtime routine.
- Their morning attitudes
- Their clothes--what fit, what didn't, what had holes
But now that I am a mom to all teenagers, their clothes are less of a priority. And I don't have the wherewithall to ask about any clothing needs. Including underwear.
Confession: Gianna's family may need new underwear. (they don't. I just bought it--and that is why I can tell you this story)
Luckily, my guiding principle of parenting has nothing to do with specific clothes. I know I'm winning if my kids are fed and alive. This principle began at the same time I knew everything about them --including their clothes.
Let's see how we can enjoy our kids while feeding them Halloween Treats this weekend.
