I was questioning this very thing the other day. My mom NEVER cried in front of me. Of course, she wasn’t one for emotions in general. I am the complete opposite, very loving with my son, who will be 3 in June. The other day my husband called with very bad news and I broke down crying in front of him. He came up and said “Don’t worry, Mommy. I will protect you, I’m your protector. Be happy . . . we’re having hot dogs for dinner!” It made me laugh and feel terribly guilty all at the same time!

Rachel, that’s so great to hear! That was our intent when we wrote the book. And yes, we’d love to see your blog post.

Cheers,
Amy & Trisha

I totally agree that it is OK to let your kids see you have breakdowns and recoveries. That’s how they learn, when they have similar feelings, that those feelings are normal and that they will get through it and feel better again. It is such an important lesson they can only learn buy seeing.

(I’m going to write a blog post about your book in a day or two, if you’re interested in seeing more of my thoughts on it.)

I’m halfway through your book and it is one of the most liberating, fun, honest books I’ve read in a long time! I thought it was just me–the comparing and competing thing. I’m starting up a book club this spring (because I need another excuse to make a dozen cupcakes and clean the house) and your book is going to be our first one. Thanks!
