I’m not the greatest decision maker in the world. I’m the one in the group who is NO help in deciding where to go to lunch, I stare at my closet forever each morning trying to decide what to wear, and just yesterday I took a good five minutes deciding what I wanted at Starbucks (grande white chocolate mocha, skim).
I think it’s safe to say that I over-analyze everything. Everything.
So, clearly when it comes to my kids, I’m even worse. And when it comes to important decisions about my kids… well, I’m up nights.
Because basically? I don’t know what the heck I’m doing in the parenting arena, so I research, research, research, look for guidance and the experience of others, and try to make sure I’m making the exact right move before I do anything.
Except when I can’t.
I’m finding that now we’re starting to come across decisions that Google and blogs and messageboards don’t have the answers to. Decisions that will impact our kids daily. Decisions that only Andy and I can make, and ones that we have to make and then and only then we will see if we’ve made the right ones.
Trial and error where my kids are involved? Makes me nervous as hell.
So tell me how you do it. Please. Because if I can’t research an exact answer to my question, leave it to me to research how to come to a conclusion.
