Sleep when the baby (or babies) sleep. Someone gave me this advice and I learned to use it happily. You have to weed through the advice and keep the flowers.
You are never going to feel like you know what you are doing. Parent your own way. Some parental victories are others' parental failures. Learn what works for you.
All good advice. Thank you everyone! I'm hoping to be a Gramdma before too long.
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?

Always remember that you love them, even when they're not lovable. And let them know that you do and always will. Cuz you're the mom, that's why!Believe says,
