Parenting A Deeply Feeling Kid Is Complicated ([link removed])

Today Christina Crawford has a frank, funny, and also thoughtful take on one of parenting’s great challenges: when you get a kid who is just like you, and then you have to face all your own strengths and weaknesses while parenting them. “I always thought my eccentric personality and quirky traits were delightful and charismatic. That is, until my son started exhibiting those same characteristics,” she admits.

“We experience the world ([link removed]) in a similar way: heightened senses, overthinking, and propensity to worry. We feel things intensely. Therefore our expressions — joy, sorrow, frustration — are also more intense,” she writes. It makes things complicated! Read it and find out why.

Stay safe out there on this Friday the 13th! May your home be free of plumbing disasters and other bad-luck catastrophes.

That’s the theme of the latest roundup from the Scary Mommy Confessional: “Same work — or maybe more! — different location & not familiar where anything is!” And it’s not just the kids, either: “Husband is more of a PIA than the kids,” admits one reader, while another reports:“being around smug team no-kid relatives makes me want to scream.” Got something to share?
