It could be worse

It could be worse

11th October 2007

As I sit here feeling bad for myself for various things, like missing my son’s pre-pre-pre school class because I’m working, I remind myself that things could be worse. A lot worse.

I could live in a society where play dates are akin to being invited to the royal court and being on the outs results in murder.

At least I have one less thing to complain about today.

OK, what web search did you do to find that article.

There are many times that I have to live my life by comparison.
sometimes remembering that someone else has it a whole lot worse than me pulls me out of my pity party real fast.

My youngest daughter spends less time at daycare than my oldest did and that is prime fodder for guilt. But you are absolutely right. We have so many options that are really “privileges” in our society when it comes to child rearing. Hang in there!

A very scary version of keeping up with the Jones’. We all need to do the best we can, be comfortable with our choices and enjoy what really matters in our own families and lives.
