It's a topic of great interest to you, you do lots of research, even experimenting when necessary, and in the end you take what you think is good from each source and add your own stuff and end up with a final product, which you present to the world each day. And you can do it over and over with each child, since they all have differences and you'll need to rewrite your parenting manual.<br />Don't worry, after a while you won't have to do as much reading and you'll find other ways to occupy your time.Desiree Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04488088768008838522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792520621180872664.post-7687414468239503412011-07-19T09:26:38.797-07:002011-07-19T09:26:38.797-07:00the good thing about parenting is that you can do ...the good thing about parenting is that you can do what you think is right & don't have to follow a program! you can read studies & ignore most of them, pick the good pieces out of the others, apply what you want, and forget the rest. and then forget more, because you'll learn what's best for hyrum whether it comes from a study or not! babies are good at leading us to what they need most of the time. they need structure and routine, but even those are flexible depending on the child. as long as you love them, meet their needs, and love them, you really can't go wrong. i think you should find something non-baby to research- every mom needs to think about something than her own kids once in a while!emuhlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201100614077522744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792520621180872664.post-70226759706663313232011-07-19T08:59:31.031-07:002011-07-19T08:59:31.031-07:00Eh, I'm the same way, and the way I figure it ...Eh, I'm the same way, and the way I figure it at least my brain isn't atrophying. Sometimes my husband and his family will make fun of me for it, but it's all actually INTERESTING to me, and it's a wonderful escape from scraping poop off Clara's bum. :) Also, we should skype sometime this morning before I go to AK...Jordan and Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062803747145854037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792520621180872664.post-33581923775517996452011-07-18T21:41:53.906-07:002011-07-18T21:41:53.906-07:00Alright Amy.

Just tell yourself you are awesome and that you are the best mom Hyrum will ever have (I seriously do this, so don't think I'm crazy). Now it doesn't matter if you are 'right' or not. Your the best he's got and, by george, you are good enough. Now you are free to go do fun things instead of pouring over studies about parenting because let's face it, they were probably all written by hacks anyway. :DKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286193461203338463noreply@blogger.com
