Answer to Shawnie's question
Shawnie asks:

What is the best change you have made since becoming a parent?

I think the best change I've made is that I have a lot more compassion for everyone, particularly other parents and children. Now I know how difficult being in public with children is; I don't make snap judgments. I know how many factors can contribute to a child's behavior at a given moment. I have more appreciation for grandparents, who have survived the whole cycle of raising a child and sending them on their way. I think being a mom has made me a better human.

(I know I have several more questions to answer. I promise I'm not forgetting anyone. I really am working on answers.)
