I was just thinking this morning how much I miss your online presence on Instagram, so I was very excited to get this in my inbox! I always find your reflections timely, and this was no exception. We are unhappy with our kids' public school (for many reasons), but there are no other options affordable to us locally, and I found this very helpful for setting my mind at rest. Also, having just come back from a wonderful week at my husband's family's century old, very not baby proof cottage where we have a difficult relationship, I sympathize with you.
I’m sorry you’re unhappy with your kids’ school, that’s really tough. Making decisions about school is always so weighty, with so many things to consider, and a lot of unknowns. Thank you for following me over to Substack! ❤️
As a new(ish) mum, I am SO relieved to find I am not the only one who worries about non-child-friendly buildings when on vacation! We have just come back from our third annual summer family get-together. Each year has been in a different location, but each with basic accommodation and less than perfect safety features (also including, this year, a very sketchy and unprotected Victorian spiral staircase). The older and more experienced parents in our family group seem to take it in their stride, but as a FTM with a toddler I find it all incredibly stressful to see danger at every turn, in every room, in multiple different ways!
So, thank you for sharing your experience, and your response to those anxieties- it is so helpful to know I'm not alone in them, but also to ponder on how to respond to anxiety in a spiritually healthy way.
We have friends with an old family home that is wildly non-baby/child friendly and they always seem so relaxed their with their three kids ages 5 and under, I do not understand 🤪
