I think Theodore Roosevelt had it right!
I apply this philosophy to every aspect of my life , home, job, children or handbag, they are what they are – I have other things to occupy my time.
I hope some of those competitive types who I have encountered at the school gates over the years have learned this – and now give their lovely children a break.
Thank you Theodore!
Have a lovely day!
Very truly spoken words indeed! We need to be ourselves don’t we. xx

So true. Never compare yourself – no one will be better than you at being you and you can’t be better than others at being them! #candidcuddles

Very true & simply put. It’s best not to compare ourselves to others in any of the ways you listed – especially our children. I hate when people compare kids, it’s unfair to everyone. Thanks so much for linking up with #candidcuddles! x
