So you have read all the books, taken notes about the do's and dont's of parenting, you have scouted the local public and private schools, thought about playdate partners and playdate schedules, chosen his music section, video shows he'll be allowed to watch... should I go on?
Remember that you are not just dealing with a baby, you are dealing with a person and as such he will want to affirm himself, make choices, sometimes mistakes. If you try to control his life too much, he will just try to break free from you!
I definitely agree on that. I feel like growing up my mother was that way. I love her to death but, I always remember she just wanted the best even though it was hard for her to let go and let me be my own person. I think even children want to be a but independant it feels good.
