RE: A Single Mom’s Confession: The Guilt behind Every ‘Later, dear’ to my Toddler’s ‘Mommy, look!’

Thanks for this advice @mayt. I agree and I regret my actions. I know soon I will miss the way he calls me mommy from time to time to show me things that make him happy. That only means he's sharing his happiness to me now, and I dont want to wake up one day that he will not be telling me about it anymore, that he will have his own world and exclude me. This is a nightmare no parent would want to happen, so while they're opening their worlds to us, we should offer our time to accompany them in it and let them feel valued and heard.
