Hand in Hand Parenting: The Podcast
Society & Culture
You sink down on the rug in tears and wonder how you can ever keep going. Then you see your daughter’s abandoned stuffie under the sofa, next to an overdue library book, so you scoop them out, tuck them on the shelf, shove your hair in a bun, and get started with the laundry.
What happened to your tears? You discarded them like your daughter did her stuffie.
