June 18, 1998


Been on leave for a glorious two and a half weeks, and will be back to the grindstone on Monday. My daughter has gotten completely spoiled and her sitter is going to hate me when Keris insists on being held all the time. My mother has introduced her to Vanilla Wafers, juice in a bottle instead of a cup, and sundry other bad little habits, but it has been wonderful to get a sense of perspective about myself as a member of a larger society of mothers, so to speak... instead of an isolated person without any basis for comparison in terms of parenting, instincts, etc. I live in my own little world here, without many "peers," or friends, quite frankly, and I'm afraid my daughter might suffer a little for it. Or maybe not. I guess it all depends on what yardstick you're measuring yourself against.
