This is so, so true. We as parents (as moms) don't always remember how we wound up as moms...that there was first this person we loved and wanted to love us and together wanted to make someone else to love. And all the reasons we love them are there - if we will unearth them.
The comments are pretty interesting. We all struggle - and the uplifting comments remind me that it's about survival now, for enjoyment in time. I do think a bit of alone time makes the together time that much sweeter.
Heady stuff...
