I found this article about perfect parenthood particularly interesting this evening. During our son’s baseball game today, I saw a mom leave an approximately one year old baby in the car sleeping while she watched the game. Now, her older son was in the game, so I understand why she wanted to watch, and she had the forethought to crack some windows for the sleeping tot, but still, I was absolutely amazed. I felt compelled to keep an eye on her car because she clearly wasn’t. [I should mention that we have more than one child so I’m not criticizing while I have my entire extended family there to watch one kid]. Please, please folks, NEVER leave your child in the car during an event. Even if you think you are right there to watch, it only takes a second. Now, off my soapbox. For moms who are struggling to be “perfect,” here are some thoughts on why you need to relax.
