https://reztt.com/reflecting-back-on-summer/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=reflecting-back-on-summer A Lifestyle Blog from Eva Amurri Thu, 08 Sep 2022 22:04:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.5 https://reztt.com/reflecting-back-on-summer/#comment-214668 Thu, 08 Sep 2022 22:04:10 +0000 https://happilyevaafte.wpenginepowered.com/?p=46263#comment-214668 This essay is very self reflective. Wish I had reason to write such a piece when I was a young mom. It would have been invaluable then and so sweet to read now at 71. So many things might have been resolved which still come back to haunt me now like the time I lost Alex at the beach for 30 minutes. What was going on in my life that surrounded that day? You will have essays to read later to make sense of both shortfalls and achievements. Nothing happens in a vacuum they say. Our best plans fall apart and life happens organically sometimes for the worst but sometimes for the better. XXOO Terra (Focusplusplanet)

You wrote how you tried to handle all your stuff and the kids and how much Ian helped you. You wrote that before in a post. And I just ask myself: Where’s Kyle helping with the kids? Maybe you just don’t write about that and I hope that you don’t get me wrong. All the best

We had a similar thing happen to us, where we knew it wasn’t going to workout but didn’t have the bandwith to find a replacement so we just rode it out for the summer. So it was incredibly frustrating having to fill in the gaps during the time that was supposed to be “fun” for our family and the kids were definitely impacted by the quality of childcare received. I felt so guilty all summer for that, but didn’t know what else to do. Thank you for reminding us we’re not alone!
