We had a lot of help when my daughter was born, but when she was a little older and we were more on our own, my librarian wife read a bunch of books, and I went with "don't do with what my parents did." It seems to have worked out for both of us, but for me more than for her. I feel like leaning in on the idea that we're 50% genetically identical and trying to see things from that perspective works better than "well, the book says X..."
I love to read many different valuable books so I can get some diverse ideas to come up with. If you can get some suggestions from your librarian wife that's what I'm looking for
I will talk to her and see what she says.
Thank you. Reading things helps me feel calmer and like I am preparing.
Hey, I haven't forgotten. She had a super busy day yesterday but she said she'd try to think of a few today.
No rush. One of the best things about Lemmy is how slow it is. We can have worthwhile threads and discussions for weeks
