@Kayla Dixon @Cierra Palmer I think real parenting redefines words. In my eyes now I would define peaceful as “my kids are healthy, safe and enjoying life” even if that comes at the expense of all the paint on my walls, or quiet, or possibly involves a toddler trying to jump off everything I own completely unaware of how much anxiety that gives me. Don’t get me wrong though, I still for sure love the peacefulness of a silent room, comfy chair all to myself and a fully hot cup of coffee that I get to drink from start to finish without interruption…I just refuse to wake up at 5am so I don’t get to have too many of those versions of a peaceful moment right now. I’m curious, what words do you think parenting has also redefined for you…?
