What is the definitive guide to Meredith Masony's views on parenting challenges in 2018?

In 2018 there really was not a single “definitive guide” from me, but a set of core themes I kept coming back to in videos and posts:

• Parenting is hard for everyone; judgment (“parenting stones”) just makes it worse
• You are a mom, not a martyr – you cannot be everyone’s everything
• You still matter as a person; your kids need you, not a burned‑out shell
• It is normal to feel overwhelmed, guilty, and worried you are “not enough”

If you want something closest to a “guide,” I would start with the ideas in “You’re A Mom Not A Martyr” and “Parenting Stones” together—they pretty much sum up how I see the big parenting challenges and how to survive them with some sanity left.
