Fear.
We are currently living in uncharted waters and times. I have asked many of our grandparents if anything like this has happened in their time. Their answer.

More Time.

We Can’t Parent Like You.
I have wanted to write and publish this post for quite some time. But fear crippled me from doing it. Fear of rejection. Fear of questions. Fear of being wrong. Fear of admitting the truth. Mostly fear of judgment, though. I do not have biological children, so I can only speak to what I know.…
