(and just to be clear, that is not meant to be a judgement AT ALL on anyone else’s choices – be they home schooling, unschooling, private, whatever – but for us, we feel like the public school system is the right choice.)

Both work by establishing a “perfect”, to which everyone should judge themselves by. Nobody lives up.

And it’s just as bad for the “other side” – the “insiders”/models/actresses/ etc in the industry, and nowadays the bloggers, who craft this image and KNOW that it’s carefully crafted, but yet somehow still can’t resist also trying to live up to it. And of course failing. Yes yes, TOTALLY.

That, my friend, is some wisdom! So true, so true.

We’re having another rough day and it helps SO MUCH to come here and read through these comments. Motherly commiseration is so important! You guys are the best, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it.
