You’re a twin too?! See, now why can’t *we* have a playdate!? 😉

Cheers to you, your husband, and family. (Long-distance hugs xoxo)

Jennifer, you’re very kind. I did some research and know that if we met we’d instantly be friends! I, like you, am a twin and loath playdates where I have to play and put the most effort in (if I have to come up with the games and play-it’s not a playdate, it’s me, playing with my kids, and someone else’s. I am also trying. Everyday. From a supportive husband to tall glasses of wine, all the very best to you in 2016 and to your family.
With a parental high five,
Trev.

Trev,

I responded on Huff Post too. I’m grateful for your taking the time to not only read my article, but to make sure you commented (and that I saw). More, I’m thankful to know there are good people out there, going through parenthood and life and trying their best to be good and enjoy the journey. (This is exactly who I write for—you.)

Thank you a billion times over, and happy New Year to you and your family.

Warmly,
Jennifer

It took me some time (albeit not a long time), to realize I was wishing away big parts of my kids childhood and my parenthood. My children did not come to me in a gentle way. I/we/us had to work hard and sacrafice and simultaneously win and lose to be together, and I wouldn’t change any of it. I know it sounds trite but find the easy in the hard. They want to play with us and that doesn’t last long. What we think is easier will only get harder. Our mighty role as guardian/warden/supreme being in their eyes is short and bittersweet, take hold friend. This is your life and from one parent to another-you’ve got this.
