RE: Thoughts on feminism, perfectionism and delegation.
So glad you enjoyed.
Took me a lot to learn how to be content for the little things, not just the "perfect" ones.
And it's wonderful that you encourage your son to try.
Heard a mother once talking on and on about how she's a control freak at the kitchen and how she didn't allow her son to cook (!!!) or even step inside her territory. So sad that while she thought she had protected the house from being messy, her son wasn't able to explore something great, probably being traumatized by her behavior.
Be the change you wish to see :)
I am trying! Sometimes the potential mess is definitely a detractor, but I don't want to be doing his laundry or cooking all his meals when he's 20! I was just watching the reboot of One day at a Time on Netflix the other day (a pretty progressive and cool show in many ways) and the teenage kids were complaining because their lunches weren't packed for them. Kids, I started packing my own lunch (with help) when I was in first grade! It was my problem if it wasn't packed! Alas... kids :-)
