You know that saying “fake it ’til you make it“?
Well I’m a believer in it. Sometimes you just need to have enough confidence in yourself to fake it and trust that your smarts, your gut and your ability to ask for advice/guidance when you need it will get you through.
But today/this week/month, I’ve been wondering… how long can you fake it until they realize that you suck?
It’s one of those days people… just one of those days.
PS: I will now go ahead and add cryptic-non-motivational-posts to my list of categories.
PPS: I’m pretty sure I don’t suck but I’m 100% sure it’s just one of those days.
PPPS: This is currently my Facebook status just – you know – to add to the whole sucking conversation.
Awwww….I’m sorry you’re having that kind of day. If it makes you feel better I went to a meeting and was volunteered for a job and I actually had to email someone after the meeting to decipher what the job was.
(1) it takes a village … favourite teachers are an integral part of that
(2) if you truly sucked you would not have posted that post as wouldn’t care
(3) people can have their views on daycare/work vs stay-at-home but 20 years (10 years?) from now, our kids won’t give a crap where they were – so long as were in a place of safety and love.
(4) quality time ALWAYS trumps quantity time. Always.
(5) she will do awesome in school, as used to age-appropriate independence, different adults, and adapting to different routines
(6) There is no right way. There is no wrong way. There just is, and us dealing with what is. Stop the pressure on yourself striving for perfection, as perfect parenting is an oxymoron.
(7) One more week to Christmas break!!
(8) use your break to search the Huffington Post – there was an article just posted about parents and pressure to be perfect – you will “love”. Coles Notes is something like: people have parented since the beginning of time. There is no special skill set. Stop comparing, stop searching for perfection, stop with the competitions and pressure – love your kids and it will all be fine! Then it ends with a picture of parents from the 50′s holding their baby, the mom’s word bubble says “I can’t find the baby’s footprint keepsake box!!” and the dads photo says ” What the f$ck is that??”. So many interpretations … so little time.
