ARE YOU A RECOVERING . . . PARENT?

Hello World. As we are in an epic paradigm shift . . . are you doing a bit of self assessing?

I am.

Having gone through the blessed, precious, wonderful, and oh so lovely experience of parenting . . . I am realizing since the adulthood and maturation of my child . . . I am still recovering.

Are you a recovering . . . parent?

This is a special club we belong to. Not a pity party . . . no indeed just the opposite. It takes time to recover . . . years. I'd say about seven years per kid. That sounds about right.

There are steps to recovery . . . one must purge these experiences from the parental primary thinking capacity.

1. Admit parental overwhelm. I was totally overwhelmed.
2. Denial of overwhelm. Who me, no I had it all together.
3. Admit . . . kid not perfect.
4. The teacher might have been right . . . after all.
5. Confronting cell . . . hell.
6. Getting through . . . "he's cute, she's hot."
7. "Pull your damn pants up." Or . . . "put some damn clothes on!!!"
8. The vaporized kid entitlement. "I want it, gotta have it."
9. Good gracious . . . it's graduation!!!
10. Get out . . . !!!

Recovering from parenting will take time.

Taking time for yourself, is a new and foreign concept . . . be patient.

You are not alone. Join me this morning . . . and lets talk about it.

This . . . and the news of the day as well. Bring your coffee, tea, and a breakfast bran muffin . . . and let's talk about our recovery . . . together.
