This sums up my thoughts exactly. I am just not that into it and so I'm just not going to do it, and I suspect that my children will turn out just fine (or, if not, it will have nothing to do with the absence of elf on the shelf in our holiday traditions!) Also, this quote, "We are responsible for what we do with our families in our homes; we don't require approval online or from anyone IRL." I want to tattoo it on my body. While social media brings us so much connection in motherhood (which is amazing), it also brings the opportunity for much comparison & an addictive need for validation!
