I so needed to hear this today. Thank you, Elizabeth. I am a SAHM of two, 18 months apart. My oldest is a month younger than yours. I have been trying to write and be present with my kids for a couple years now and have had the hardest time. Just before reading this, I wrote in my journal that maybe I should just put writing aside for a while and focus on my kids/marriage/home life… I can’t do it all and trying is making me bad at everything!
Bad at everything? Can't possibly be true. We all hold ourselves to impossibly high standards though, so I get it. What else can you give up before the thing you love?
