Questions

#1  One of my big challenges with attachment parenting is that kids are so unpredictable, it's hard to keep to a schedule, make appointments, and be where I need to be at specific times. Even when it all works out, there's an underlying stress because my nursing child might need me (to nurse or to help him go to sleep), or might just be having a clingy day. How do you deal with days when the needs of your children conflict with your other obligations, work schedule, book tour, writing time, etc.? (Click to read Mayim's answer.)

#2  I know you don't expose your kids to a lot of TV and movies (or is it none at all?). What do they think you do at work? :) And what might you do as they get older and realize you're a famous TV actress? (Click to read Mayim's answer.)

#3  What's your kids' bedtime routine? At what ages (if ever) did they stop needing you to put them to sleep with nursing or lying down with them? At what point do you think they might move into their own bedroom? (I'm asking as a parent who sleeps with my children until age 3 or 4, so I'm not judging!)  (Click to read Mayim's answer.)
