So, on Valentine's Day

It's all about articles, isn't it?

If you show someone the door,
it means you don't a door them any more!

Okay, big applause, for Sonali! *Heart*
I do respect doors. Where would we be without them! Still, we must be careful not to keep all the doors shut all the time. The air inside would be unbreathable. *Wink*

Elycia Lee ☮ Done for Author Icon - thanks! I don't personally celebrate, but I have a lot of Tamil friends!
THANKFUL SONALI Love my family Author Icon - I can never tell the difference between a Tamil and Hindu celebration.

Elycia Lee ☮ Done for Author Icon - It's pretty complicated. I guess Indians just like to celebrate and meet people and eat good food! So any excuse will do!

What's the one biggest challenge you face as a parent, or think your parents face?

Kids be expensive *Laugh*
Children!
Looking at my god-daughter, who is a mother of a 3yo and 6 month old, I think for new current younger parents (she is 27) is social media, being told so much rubbish about being parents. And the social media landscape is one of comparison. So, if you do something different, or you don't follow "this influencer" or "that blogger" then you are not doing the right thing. She is finding that her support group is becoming judgmental because she is bringing her child up the way she wants.

I can relate to her; almost 20 years ago, when we had kids, we decided not to do the whole "Santa", "Easter Bunny", "Tooth Fairy", "God", "Jesus" myth thing, and be honest with our kids. You'd think that by not having a Santa at Christmas we were abusing them. In fact, one of my fellow teachers accused us of abuse for doing just that. The abuse people, of course, rejected it, but when I called her out, she accused me of harassment... Fortunately, I had a good principal, and this teacher was forced to apologise.

But you are not allowed to bring your kids up the way you want without being accused of being a bad parent.

Still, in the poll, I selected "emotional" because dealing with our kids' changing emotions has been the biggest hurdle.
