Deborah - I love this post SO MUCH. We are the same age! Totally relate to the big neurospicy family upbringing! The trip to Japan at 12 sounds incredible (my oldest son is there right now, by the way, and it's changing his life - even if he did have to wait until 27!)
Thank you for sharing your book timeline. I've been telling people "The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read" took me 27 years to write, but maybe I should say 47...because you're right, so much of that early stuff is foundational.
Thanks, Meagan! I started today thinking I'd begin this post in 2021, but yeah no. It takes a life to write book. Also, I'm kinda loving the late 40s, perimenopause not-with-standing.
Deborah, this is so so exciting! Like Jennifer I'm keen to read your early article about boys, since that's a topic near and dear to my heart, too. 48 years of labor is a long time, but every bit of it counts. Congratulations on getting this baby out into the world and I look forward to reading it!!
Your first article was about boys! How did I not know that? (Maybe I did?) I celebrate every moment that brought you here, that is bringing this book to the world. Brava!

You probably didn't -- it was a long time ago. And THANK YOU!
