When My Fashion Accessory Told Me To Take a Hike

This is one more reason why I don't post stuff about my kids: When My Fashion Accessory Told Me To Take a Hike | Challies Dot Com:

"But I see it now: Some of these photos weren’t for you or for them—they were for me. My kids were accessories to me, a way of making me look good in your eyes or making me feel good about myself. I would only share the details of their lives and times that helped me in some way. I was using my kids as a kind of fashion accessory, what the dictionary defines as “a thing that can be added to something else in order to make it more useful, versatile, or attractive.” That was it! I was using my kids to somehow make myself more attractive. It was all about me."
