It’s hard raising a spirited child.
But I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s true that my spirited child gets in trouble a lot. I see him being a rascal. But I also see so much more, and I wish he knew all the amazingness I see in him.
What’s it like raising boys? I get that question a lot as a mom to three of them. My answer varies from “it’s an adventure” to “high energy” to “I sit in pee” to “so much more wrestling than I expected,” and everything in between. It’s like nothing I ever could have imagined and everything …
