As an only child--and a very happy, content one at that--there are things that happen on an average day between siblings that are simply beyond my comprehension.
There are some things I think I do well as a mother.
It’s called the “Only Child Pass,” and it should get me out of jail for free every time they are poking at each other in the backseat of the car and I feel myself flush with a white hot annoyance that makes me want to scream and pull my hair. But my husband is one of four and felt strongly about giving our first son the experience of having a sibling. I loved pregnancy and motherhood and felt like I had more to give, so we decided to have another baby. Before we made that life-altering decision, I gave it an awful lot of thought.How in the world am I supposed to parent siblings when I have absolutely no experience to draw from?
I try to see my boys clearly and honestly for precisely who they are as individuals. They have very different personalities, which means they need different things from me. I have to believe that I can be enough for both of them.
