if pacifiers let you get through thanksgiving dinner with the entire extended family… do it!
sometimes daddy has to cook. if your husband wants a hot dinner and you haven't even had time to brush your hair and teeth, let alone take a shower, sometimes he can throw a pizza in himself.
you are your child's safe place, even when you are not at home. i still believe separation time is important for your child, but it will not wreck all your child’s future independence and sense of self if you miss a church service to stay in the nursery and cuddle your baby boy who is screaming for you.
