April 26, 2018 at 1:30 pmHi Jody! I wondered if this might be something you’ve experienced/managed – I’m a new mom, and friends and family are often telling me to savor every moment because it all goes so quickly. They bemoan how quickly children grow up. Some of my friends seem to be nostalgic for their children’s current stage before they’ve even grown out of it. The emotions seem to be wistfulness, regret, or dissatisfaction with the pace of childhood or life. It seems negative to me. Is this an inevitable part of parenthood, or can I choose not to feel these ways?

Not every day is going to be enjoyable when you’re raising children and it’s totally okay that you don’t enjoy it all the time. I think a more appropriate way to say it is to notice the moments as tiny or as big or as tiny as they may be that are enjoyable. This life is not the end to our existence. The more enjoyable moments within our existence are yet to come. Find joy in that and the moments that come with your children. But don’t stress if you feel like you’ve missed a moment when you should have been joyful and you weren’t. And the people who tell you to enjoy your children while they’re little let them babysit them for a long time and tell them to enjoy every single minute of it.
