Big Bad Mama (How to Lose Friends and Alienate People)

I had a conversation with a neighbor today, a mom whom I have not spoken to for more than a few moments in passing for several years. She needed to spill some resentments she’s had towards me. Her point-of-view did not surprise me, but it helped me connect some dots.

Nap? Why Nap??

I am not sure what's going on with my Pumpkin lately. She'll fall asleep easily at night and easily for her morning nap. But the afternoon nap is quite the struggle! I don't get it. She will start with the eye rub, which I know is the first sign of her being tired. So we will do something calming like reading a book or rock in the rocking chair. Then I'll see the yawn. I know this is the sign that means it's time for her to go take a nap. I'll put her down and she will cry. And it's not the… Continue
