Many times I find myself in a unique position. Let me say, I am not the leading authority on child rearing. Lord knows I’ve made my share of mistakes. Yet, time and again, a friend or two will ask me for advice as it relates to their child or children. A few times because of the complexity of the situation I find myself asking why me. I have come to the realization, why not me. I’ve said this before, I consider myself to be a really tough mother and if a friend who knows that still believe that I can offer something to them that can help them make a difficult decision then I welcome that. It took me years to learn this but in order to give sound advice you must first be a good listener. And listening is what I do best. So to all of you who have shared with me over the years, thank you for trusting me and I hope through these conversations I am able to do for others what you have allowed me to do for you.
