this small scrap of enlightenment descending...advice to parents from a childfree person: Be happy. Figure out what makes you happy. Do that. Your kids want you to be happy more than they want themselves to be happy, even if they don't say that. (I mean, truly happy. Not self-indulgence drinking-too-much-whiskey fake happy.) Because, when kids see their parents are happy, it is good role modeling. It teaches them how to take care of themselves. Wow. I feel so wise??? I have to take a shower, to wash off the slightly creepy feeling I get when so much enlightenment comes over me.
