Meagan, I love the essays you write here. You are so honest and vulnerable--far more so than the majority of what's out there. As a result, your writing is so incredibly relatable! It makes me feel good about myself, not bad--and that's such a welcome place to seek out on the internet! Thank you!
Meagan, I love this, thank you! I’m a 45 year old mom of young kids, so my experience is a mix of the luxuries you mention - still in the throws of my time and attention being consumed by others, yet with the wisdom and experience from years lived that brings a certain ease to it all. I relish the moments of connecting with moms who are a decade or more younger than me but have kids the same age as mine. So many times I think, “oh love, that thing you are fretting over doesn’t have to matter so much.” And I just think of all the ways I enjoy being the middle-age version of me as a mom and how this season would feel very different as the younger me. 8:30 bedtime with no FOMO for the win! Romanticize on!
