Topics
Glennon Doyle: 作为母亲，我一直在寻找理想的居住地，但搬家太多导致孩子们缺乏归属感。我意识到，孩子们在不同年龄阶段有不同的需求，重要的是创造一个他们愿意回来的家，同时也要考虑我们自己想要的生活。我儿子曾经告诉我，他喜欢观察植物的生长，因为我们搬家太多，他缺乏这种时间流逝和扎根的感觉。这让我意识到，我一直在寻找理想的居住地，但最终却错过了为孩子们建立根基的机会。 Abby Wambach: 我认为，我们应该培养孩子适应变化的能力，而不是让他们过于依赖稳定的工作。作为教练，我经常因为工作机会而搬家，虽然我认为这对孩子们有好处，但实际上可能并非总是如此。社区对年轻人来说非常重要，孩子们拥有的最稳定的家就是父母的爱和支持。新手父母应该在养育孩子的过程中不断自我成长，找到一个可以倾诉和互相支持的伙伴。我们都在摸索中前进，所以要对自己宽容一些，明白在决定优先事项时，需要保持灵活性。 Michelle Obama: 我认为孩子们比我们想象的更有韧性，只要他们有安全感，就能适应各种环境。关键在于找到自己想要的生活，孩子们最终会离开，所以要过好自己的生活。我曾经非常担心搬家会影响我的女儿们，但她们适应得比我想象的要好。这让我意识到，孩子们比我们想象的更有韧性，只要他们有安全感，就能适应各种环境。重要的是，父母要找到自己想要的生活，因为孩子们最终会离开，所以要过好自己的生活。 Craig Robinson: 我认为家人的存在就是家，Shira和她的丈夫需要对自己更有同情心，并明白他们自己也需要成长。不要因为内疚而养育孩子，爱他们，给他们稳定，帮助他们在新的社区和环境中成长，但仍然要养育他们。我的家人让我意识到，无论身在何处，家人的存在就是家。我希望Shira能明白，重要的是家人的爱和支持，而不是居住的地点。

Shownotes Transcript

Recently, Glennon and Abby had the pleasure of being guests on a new podcast from our dear friend Michelle Obama, called IMO. You know on WCDHT, we have insightful conversations that give fresh perspectives, uplift you and leave you feeling more fulfilled.

And on IMO, Michelle and her big brother Craig Robinson bring candid perspectives to the everyday questions shaping our lives, relationships and the world around us. Each week, they’re joined by a guest to tackle real questions from real folks just like you offering practical advice, personal storytelling, and plenty of laughs. In this episode, Abby and Glennon join to help an IMO listener figure out priorities when deciding where to move her young family. Glennon discusses why she moved her family seven times, and, as the “bonus parent,” Abby shares what she thinks is most important to their kids’ happiness (hint: It’s not unlimited cake-pops, though she’s tried). Plus, Michelle and Craig share their own stories of uprooting families for careers—including a very strange move to a big house in Washington, DC.
