Today’s newsletter is for all the fellow parents doing the best they can. For anyone who needs a reminder that what is “good enough” for us may turn out to be the best part of the day for them.
I’m catching up on my Substack reading on an extremely rare morning where my toddler is sleeping in. Thank you for this post. I struggle with comparing myself to others all the time and with parenting have found I very easily get sucked in to the idea that other parents are parenting better or providing better toys, experiences, whatever it is for their children. This is a great reminder of good enough and also that all our children are different and have different needs. AND there are many ways to get them what they need. I’m glad you got this adventure day and that Juniper loved the Costco dinner.
I constantly have to remind myself to not compare my 100% to others’ visible 5%. AND that “good enough” is actually better than perfect because perfection is such a tough standard to grow up feeling like you have to constantly meet. I’m so glad this was a helpful reminder for you as well! ❤️
