As I meet different moms in different places and situations, I wonder how many of them have it together. How many Leave it to Beaver families or Cosby show kids are really out there? Do our children crave the Ralph Lauren pants that we spend hours looking for only for them to go to school to splash purple pant on?!
Do they really care if they are accepted into that elite prep school that 500 5 year olds paid $300 application fees for only 30 to be accepted. Will their life be ruined because they are forced to go to public school among the commoners? :)
Is it our own insecurities or wants that we push upon our children and brain wash ourselves to thinking that they are what's best for children?
Are we caught in this war amongest moms, friends and neighbors for bragging rights that are kids attend the best piano, ballet, middle school, guitar lesson, karate, horse back riding and golf that our city provides? When are kids only want to spend 15 minutes watching Nick.
Are we going over board and over working our selves carpooling, waiting in line and spending countless dollars when all we should do is stop and love our kids and our selves? Are moms over the top? Are you?
