I enjoyed reading the both very much. Brett: I completely agree. In the macro, I think we need to commit ourselves to being INDEPENDENT people that lives the way we want to live. Then probably comes some deprogramming. I.e. Addiction to email, work etc. Joni: Thanks for you note. I checked out your wordpress blog and saw the articles you're talking about. Great perspectives.

Jill Savage has a variety of books on professionalizing motherhood. If I would approach parenting with the same responsibility I did when in the marketplace, I'd do a much better job. I also think the Dad role is less forgiving than Mom's if only because generally dads spend less time with their kids especially if mom stays at home. So, any misstep is going to seem larger than mom's. Lots of pressure for dads to perform. However, the good moments with Dad have exponential impact. So the little things count. I just did a similar 2 part post on this. Great minds eh? :) Great post. Jill Savage has a variety of books on professionalizing motherhood.

I think for those of us with type A personalities are probably the most guilty. We're obsessed with being productive. And whether we want to admit it or not we probably see spending time doing blocks on the floor as not as productive as putting more hours in. Or, and this is another subject I guess, we believe that with children quality of time is more important than quantity. Great post!
