Hardest job EVER

I got Dr. Dobson's newest book yesterday, "Bringing Up Girls".

I heard him talking about it in the fall and how it would be in the stores in April.

I was like, "FINALLY!". Thank you, it's about time.

His book, "Bringing Up Boys" has been a best seller for several years. But, in my house, the only "boy" has already been brought up (and very nicely too...thank you people who shaped his life).

Soooooooo, when I was at Sam's I saw this book, like a beacon, shining out at me.

I grabbed it up and couldn't wait to get home and read it.

I hopped in bed and flipped it open to take in the wisdom.

After two pages I put it down.

Because it was scary. The content of the book is scary.

To be a little girl in today's society AND to be a parent in today's society is frightening.

Gawwwwwwwleeeeeeeee.

I think I might be ready to dive into page three though. I want to bring up my girls in the best possible way.

I want them to grow to be Godly women.

I want them to love themselves and see themselves as precious.

I want them to NEVER settle for anyone or anything.

I want them to learn how to say NO at an early age (especially to hormonal teenage boys).

I want them to have a beautiful relationship with me and Matthew.

I want US to understand them better and get to know their hearts and minds.

I want so much for our girls and for our relationship with them.

So, whether page 3 or page 33 is difficult to read and scary to take in, I will do it.

I know this book will help us in parenting but above all, I know God will guide us and carry us through this journey of bringing up our girls.
