This is fantastic!
Day 1 and day 2 of The Mistakes Made & Lessons Learned Group Writing Project got us off to a respectable enough start, but we’re all learning a lot now. We’ve got six new entries under the cut.
The Mad Cropper is in via a scrapbook page that says something all of us need to hear every once in a while. I’ve been there too Christine. More often than I care to admit.
Hamelife submits this personal regret over the six months they lost to the dictates of parenting convention.
Jeanie in Paradise describes how she became a dictator. Warning: Jeanie’s very scary description of the banshee wail hits the memory centers hard!
The Doc is In! And boy, are the F-bombs flying. So is the parental pride. I understand you, Doc, your shame, your pride, and your f****** temper.
Husbandhood has both been in the eye of the storm of a temper tantrum and found the perfect solution for preventing tantrums.
This post came from the male half of Marriage Actually about recognizing the individuality of his three children. You may want to strap on an adult diaper before you read it.
Thanks, Kate. What a pithy summary.
And now I’m kicking myself for not using the words “parenting convention”. That sums it up in an instant!
The Husbandhood entry is a killer, and I’m still working my way through the others…
Rory- That is the agony of blogging for me too. As soon as I say something, I immediately think of a better choice of words.
I am glad you’re enjoying the other entries too. I think all of them have been fabulous.
Kate,
Here is my entry:

Thanks Char! It looks great.
Thanks Kate. I just hope my post lives up to your summary.
“Adult diaper?” I suppose I should take that as a compliment.
