I used to be a parent who when out in public felt like I had to perform a middle ground between my kid and social norms.
Now I am a parent who when out in public role-models the accommodation, flexibility, low-demand, and calm that I would like other people to practice around my kid - or any kid. Instead of trying to appease society, I'm showing society how it can do better.
It may not seem a big deal in the world, but this personal change is nothing short of revolutionary.
