What Fishel has come to accept is that there “really is no one right thing” to do when there’s a bombardment of information on child-rearing.
“I read everything that’s out there. I read a lot and then go, ‘Well,what makes sense for my kid?’ ” the actress says. “I also ask a lot of advice from other moms and dads around me.”
Fishel reveals that she has also learned to manage her expectations for the type of parent she is.
“I thought I was going to be the super-tough parent,” she says. “The one who’s like, ‘Ihave no problem with sleep training. They can cry it out. I don’t care.’ No. The minute he cries, I’m like, ‘What’s wrong? What’s going on? I’ll come in there.’ That’s a lot harder than I ever thought it was going to be.”
