Parenting Is Not My Dharma Practice, Writer Says
Original: Parenting Is Not My Dharma Practice (and Maybe That’s Okay)
A writer argues in a new essay that raising children should not be treated as a spiritual or Buddhist practice, pushing back against a common expectation among meditators that parenting and dharma must intertwine. The piece suggests it is acceptable for parenthood and spiritual life to remain separate, and that admitting this can relieve guilt for parents who struggle to bring mindfulness into daily family chaos.
Why now: It challenges a popular assumption in mindfulness communities that parenting should be framed as spiritual practice, sparking debate about guilt and expectations for parents.
