Quotes to ponder:
"Parenting is one of the toughest jobs in the world. There’s no rehearsal. No interview process. You haven’t a clue what it’s going to be like, and suddenly, you’re hired."
"Appreciate and be grateful for your differences. Maybe your partner announces on a sunny Saturday morning, 'It’s a gorgeous day! Let’s take the kids for a hike!' But you’d planned chores for the day."
"Manage your own insecurity. Parenting is the most ambiguous task you’ll ever do. None of us know for certain what the outcome will be."
