"You spend 18 years in your parents' home, so their ways become normal for you," Dunning says. "But if it doesn't feel right, you can make new rules."
I loved how laid back this article was. I never got the feeling that if I did anything wrong my kids would be ruined for life - or that mistakes as a parent are the indication of a being a bad parent. I love the author's view of: if what you do doesn't work very well, just change it and do better tomorrow. Very encouraging!

"We devalue ourselves as moms when we don't trust our instincts — that mommy-vision you get when your baby is born," Borba says. "Your gut instinct, which is where your parenting style is formed, is almost always right for your child." And when you start listening to your heart, you'll make peace with your parenting style...
I don't know what it was about this short article but it just hit the spot today. Thanks for sharing!
