[...] And this is also very good. Harvest Bird is a little something I picked up on my last jaunt around the Down Under Feminists’ Carnival. I thought to myself I have enough blogs on my feed, I really don’t need anymore so just looking, no buying, and then I found Harvest Bird and just couldn’t part with it. I have been thinking this week about the dynamics of shared parenting. [...]

I was very privileged to hear this story pre-publication Megan! It was lovely to catch up with you all. I’m afraid Andrew Drummond had to take a back-seat on this occasion…

I’ve had knock-down fights with Jamie because he dressed the baby in clashing clothes!

When I was around 13 I attended the welcome party for the firstborn of some friends of my parents’. I spent most of the occasion with the guest of honour in my lap and every two minutes either the new mother would come past and take the baby’s hat off or the (paternal) grandmother would stop to replace the hat. It was a power struggle of epic propotions.

You’d be horrified at my blunt tribe. I think you have described perfectly the playing field modern parents face as they strive for perfection (in their area of choice). I remain the food police.

17 year old daughter; Dad, what happens if you drink alcohol while on antibiotics?
merc; where would you be mixing this cocktail?
17YOD; maybe in a bar.
merc; maybe an over 18 bar?
17YOD, maybe.
merc; oh everything would be fine because you would not technically be there.

Looking sharp is key. We only have a small window of opportunity to dress them ourselves before they decide that they have their own fashion agency.

My thinking on this is that it’s not a zero sum game. Therefore, if one’s own happiness neither snatches away happiness from someone else nor prevents one from remembering others’ unhappiness, it should in no way be a source of guilt.

The ’strengthening of empathy and connection’ is so true. Some weeks after mine was born I suddenly found myself weepy about my poor aunt, forced to give up her son for adoption in the early 1960s, when she was 16. I’m actually getting verklempt about it now, again. It’s not that I wasn’t sad about it before, you understand. I just think I ‘get it’, in a way that I couldn’t have previously. (This probably signals my lack of imagination, actually!)
