Good evening, Persephoneers. The more I have thought about parenting from a Caregiving perspective, I’ve come to realise that two parts aren’t going to be enough. So not only will there be a Part 2, but look out for a Part 3. I suspect there may even be a Part 4, too. Also, I’m going to do my best to be a Coherent Grown-Up – albeit not for very long – but I’ve been awake since 4 a.m., when a poorly Juniper Junior came through to our bed and then decided to throw up over the carpet. I’m trying to bear in mind what my mother said: “At least he didn’t throw up on Juniper Puss.” Perspective is everything. Thanks Mum.
So. Yes. Coherency. If my attempt to be coherent is going to work, I’m going to have to take things very gently today – if I were to come across a tangent, I fear I would simply fall over it – so to avoid that, I’m doing another quickie. Which is to say, here are links to all the previous articles in the Caregiving series and also, as I continue to work through the previous suggestions, if there are topics you would like to see covered in the future, or questions, leave them in the comments or send me a message. I’ll cover them in future Caregiving articles.
Caregiving: Parenting (Part 1)
Caregiving: The Relationship In The Middle
Caregiving: Turning The Tables
Caregiving: Crisis And Kindness
Caregiving: Being Able To Say I’m A Carer
Goodnight Persephoneers.

If you get a chance, one topic I’d like to read about is your experiences as a carer on vacation, either with the family or each other. I love the perspective you bring, Juniper!
Thank you! And yes, that’s certainly something I can cover in the future!
Hey, at least he didn’t throw up all over the bed, aka my least favorite parenting experience of all time.
Junior will get better. This too shall pass.
Oh goodness yes. That is very much something to be thankful for.
This is such a simple phrase but I love it so much. I can’t quite explain why, either.
