One To Watch: Parenting Mind Tricks

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

Thanks for ParentHacks for this link to Jay Andrew Allen’s blog.

He’s starting a series of posts on Parenting Mind Tricks. And I love the first one as it’s something I continuously think about, though not in such great detail.

“Imagine Your Child’s Memoirs”.

Whenever I’m down or frustrated with the whole parenting thing, or as Jay says “lash out at those I love when my mind convinces me that I’m justified in being an asshole”, I later think about what Julian might be thinking about Dad, or what he might think in the future.

The little dude ain’t winding me up on purpose (well, maybe just a little). Time to be the adult.

Anyhow, a blog to watch.

Holy Hell - I better get off my ass and write a #2! :-o

Thanks for the link and the praise, my friend. It's all the more important coming from someone who lives in Seattle. We Seattleites are inteligunt, after all.
