For real though, I have never felt like I've gone wrong by just following my child's cues. We contact-napped until she didn't want to anymore, coslept until she didn't want to anymore, didn't use a pushchair until she decided she liked it at 11 months old, still happily breastfeeding, she's randomly decided she'd like to potty train earlier than I was ready for so now we're doing that, her sleep schedule is of her choosing and she goes to sleep when she's tired.
Has it always been easy? No. Has it always been 100% what's right for me and my child? Yes.
There's so much weird information out there about if you don't do x, your kid is doomed to always do y and 99.99% of it is just nonsense. My kid did things when she was developmentally ready for them, not when I was ready for them. I'm not in the mind of paying thousands of pounds to people trying to profit off struggling parents when the truth of it is that all kids develop and do things differently at different times. My kid was a terrible sleeper for a very long time, and was very much a velcro baby. I never once felt like I was doing something wrong by simply meeting her needs, and now she's a great sleeper who is fiercely independent.

This year's anniversary came and went and I didn't even notice. Six years and for once I didn't think of it. I am so relieved, although it took so long. You are not such a heavy thought anymore. I talk about you sometimes, anecdotes, memories, moments.
But I am too wrapped up in being the mother I want to be, the mother my child needs, to be so wrapped up in my own mother. I wonder if that's a mistake you made, being so wrapped up in your own mother wound that you lost sight of being a better one. It's a cycle I feel like I've finally broken.

It costs us nothing to build up our children but it costs them everything to tear them down.
