Wow I'm so glad you posted this! I don't even have kids yet and I found it really moving and insightful. I forwarded it along to several new(ish)moms I know.
This paragraph brought tears to my eyes: "Dear mother of only one child, don’t blame yourself for thinking that your life is hard. You’re suffering now because you’re turning into a new woman, a woman who is never allowed to be alone. For what? Only so that you can become strong enough to be a woman who will be left." SO beautiful. Thanks, SEL!

ReplyDeleteMy mama always said once she had two, she might as well have the third. She wanted more, but there just wasn't enough money :)
