I Was A SAHM For 5 Years. These Are My Regrets.

I Was A SAHM For 5 Years. These Are My Regrets.

"Tomorrow, for the first time, I'll send both my kids — ages 5 and 7 — to the same school on the same full-day schedule. It's a motherhood milestone," writes Neha Ruch. "But tonight, I'll stay awake, deep in mostly motherhood thoughts. I won't worry about my kids' new teachers or my growing workload. I'll think through all the things I could have done differently. I was primarily a home-parent for five years. I loved it and I preemptively miss it. But sometimes when all is quiet, I think I got parts of parenting wrong."

It's a lovely, meditative piece, and you should read it.

I'm Divorced — & I Still Encourage My Teens To Spend Time With Their Dad

"I've been divorced for almost seven years and my ex-husband and I have joint custody of our three teens. When we separated, we figured out a schedule that we thought would work for everyone: three nights with him in his new place, and four nights with me in their childhood home," writes Diana Park. Then the kids got older, and they said they didn't like going back and forth. But she still wants them to spend time with their dad. So today, she's talking about how they navigate that together.
