Have you noticed that I haven’t been talking about parenting specifically as much lately?
I think I may have figured out why.
How long has it been since you have tried to define yourself without using any of the roles you play in other people’s lives (i.e. mom, husband, son, employee, etc…)?
It’s not that I don’t think these roles are a valuable part of my life, but they get enough air time.
What about you? Just YOU. What do you like, fear, hope, want, need?
Because you know what? Who you are and what you need matters.
On today’s episode I disclose:
-
What Mr. B asked me that made me laugh but that then kept me up all night
-
What my pediatrician’s office calls me and what I wish they would call me instead
-
Why I haven’t been talking about parenting as much in these last few episodes
-
What I want to go back in time and tell myself
-
An activity I use to figure out what the heck I want and need
-
and a (slightly morbid) point on why I feel it’s important for me to define myself without using any labels like mom, dad, brother, sister, spouse
