Being a mom is such an amazing ride but I think it is supposed to be a humbling, balancing experience as opposed to an end all be all.

I do have to say, I have some of the Parisian parenting habits you mentioned above, but I would like to integrate more.

I've realized in our living abroad experience that it is much harder to implement some of the things you'd want to implement depending on where you live. It's hard to not let your kids snack when every child in America (maybe exaggerating) snacks 43 times a day. It's hard to not rush through dinner when you're child is enrolled is 3 after school activities on Tuesdays alone. In order to parent some of the ways I want to parent, it takes a whole life change. Not easy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087976213784502328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659162590893410645.post-39839688807617228142013-12-18T04:57:11.174-05:002013-12-18T04:57:11.174-05:00This was an interesting read.

It's quite a abstract concept to think: what I can really have a life although I've had children?<br />Thank you posting this, it really was an eye opener.Go Ask Mumhttps://www.goaskmum.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659162590893410645.post-83399973535961409422013-12-15T00:10:39.982-05:002013-12-15T00:10:39.982-05:00This was such a great post!

We are guilty of rushing through dinner because of schedules but our kids are great eaters...they were introduced to a variety when they were very young, and love good food so we are lucky with that. We follow a lot French parenting practices in our house actually! Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390594619083013119noreply@blogger.com
