I’m not perfect

I am a mom. I teach other moms how to parent better. 

I know this stuff and I still lose my cool with my kid sometimes.

For instance: if I am tired, cranky or didn’t get much sleep and I’ve been dealing with a kid who chose today to be oppositional, well, I lose my cool.

Every parent I know has stories of losing it.  And every parent I know feels like a failure when that happens.

On the plus side – we care enough to get it right.

And to me, that’s what matters.  

Not just with parenting, but with life.

I am going to fail sometimes.  And that’s ok.

As long as I pick myself up and learn how to avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
