Yep, had a similar experience when our daughter was younger! Made me want to stop leaving the house with her for a while...

Yes I remember being on my feet the whole of playgroups ready to intercept my son hitting others, whilst the other mums relaxed. Now those kids go to ballet and after school sports and music lessons, my son can't access school.

As I read the story about this Lady and what Cooper did, it made me smile 😁. I know, it's not funny

You have no idea how much I needed this post this morning. I related to every single word. (For us, it was the weekly story time at the library — and you described the exact scene.) I’m so grateful for you, Kate. For years now, your writing has been a lifeline for me. Again and again, your writing meets me in my joy and grief. As always: thank you.
