Oops, no pictures today. Occasionally I will just post random thoughts too. This blog post by another Emily has some suggestions for what to say instead of “cherish these moments while they’re still so small” after a mother of an infant or toddler complains about how their child never sleeps:
- I don’t remember how hard it was never sleeping because I’m retired and I sleep until 10 now and I spend all day playing Candy Crush. SO I’m just going to shut the fuck up. (Might be too specific).
- That sounds tough, want me to drop you over something with chocolate in it?
- You don’t look tired at all. You look like a glam actress who only eats paleo stuff and drinks grass smoothies.
- I heard kids who don’t sleep are smarter than kids who do.
- Parenting is really hard sometimes. It’s ok to find it hard sometimes.
