You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Somedays, I just feel like I know NOTHING. Not a thing. Nothing about how to parent in an emotionally responsive way, how to support those in my life. How to manage a home while working full time and owning a business.

Recently, my tiny human, age 3.5 has begun becoming highly emotional on the way to Pre-School.  It's a new school for him. The first week of drop offs were amazing. Then...the tears. The screaming. The saying "Don't Leave, Mama."  Heart broken.  

I just don't know how to help him. I try and get him to talk it out. I try to make the mornings easier to help fill his bucket. More time with Mama, less missing, maybe?  I'm not sure. Today was better. Drop off was outside so he was excited to show me his climbing.  

Time changes... I let him nap long, then kept him up late the night of the change.  Attempting shorter naps at pre-school. Some nights work. Some don't. I have no idea what's next. I just want him to sleep through. 

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to have social connections at this stage in my life. I work two nights a week, and one weekend a month. I'm on call a lot. I do breakfasts with some of my doula gals, as therapeutic debriefing most of the time. Drinks after work are hard. My husband handles a lot of the pick ups, drop offs, etc.  

Anyway.... I'm just saying. Some days are easier than others with feeling like you know your ass from your elbow. Real talk.
