Stop should-ing all over yourself.

In parenthood we are constantly told what we should and should not do.  Some of the messages are straightforward, some are sneakier.

“Oh, you’re going back to work?”
“So what camps are you guys doing this summer?”
“Is this your forever house?”

It comes from well-meaning friends, from doctors, from society, from religion.

Shoulds almost destroyed me.

I really had to dig through them and start pitching some to the curb.

I’m going to continue to get more and more vulnerable here.

I hope that by sharing my own story it might give you the courage to tackle your own.
