I want to remember that Netflix thing for myself.<br /><br />Also, great to know that part about getting my own needs met and replacing discipline with listening.

This is the most beautiful post ever. <br />MJ, it is so true what you say about surrendering, and listening to your children. I think our parenting styles are very similar. I read a brilliant book called the 'Idle Parent' and although the book is very tongue in cheek. it does encourage parents to give the reins to their children more, and by surrendering, you are giving them independance, love and empowerment. <br />I found myself saying 'yes' to all of your statements. I love that you are recognising YOUR vital part and joy in the journey that is parenthood.
