25 Lessons You Learn From Motherhood :) 16. Pick your battles, and let go of the rest. There are so many battles that if you try to fight them all you will grow weary. Stick with the ones that matter the most. And the longer you parent, the shorter the list of battles you are willing to wage will become. Motherhood would be easier if you just trimmed the list down at the beginning. 17. Murphy’s Law Will Prevail: Wash the sheets, someone wets the bed. Get the car detailed, someone gets carsick. Wear a white shirt, your child is going to get hurt and bleed on your shoulder when you pick him up. They grow out of expensive shoes faster than the cheap ones. Thinking of buying those non-refundable season ski passes for the family, you have just guaranteed a snowless winter. 18. You will learn to be a Mother by being a mother. Sure, reading books and magazines can help you formulate ideas and strategies for how to be a more effective parent, but at the end of the day you are the expert of your own children. 19. You will stop worrying about your children when you die. When they were newborns I worried about feeding them, would they stop breathing in the middle of the night, was the car seat the right one. Now I worry about their relationships, how safely they drive, are they going to pass AP English–things over which I have zero control. The worry is still there, it just takes a different form. 20. Look before you sit down on the toilet. Boys can not aim. And neither boys or girls know how to replace the toilet paper. Drip dry should only be used in regard to delicate laundry. --cm
