Just journalling a bit...won't be that interesting to you all, maybe, but I want to remember this...
Since h started school (ok, it was only 3 days ago!), I've been doing a lot for him...picking him up at the train, making sure there's food for him when he gets home, etc. That's good stuff...and I believe that AOS are a LL for him...at the same time, one of the things that I think has really been working well for us is the fact that he's been doing stuff for ME, pleasing ME.
I want to be careful to continue to do stuff for him but to not stop letting him do stuff for me, too.
Aside from that being NOT "doing what works"...it's also a direct path towards resentment if I start feeling like I'm "doing it all".
Anyway...guess it's all about balance.
