i am going to spend some quality time with just me and her, but then jeffrey will get upset i guess it will always be a no win situation. and i did it again tonite, got off work walked in the house and asked jeffrey if he wanted to throw the football.
if i could kick myself in the mouth i would have no teeth left.
one day i will get this parent thing under control, i hope. still learning.
The wise ALWAYS learn until the day they die. The fool says "I got this ALL FIGURED OUT..." So, since you are 'still learning' - my guess is that you are doing just as fine as the rest of us. Parenting is hard. No one ever said it was easy. If they did, they are either clueless or a liar.
Strive for balance. Know sometimes you will fail. Sometimes miserable (at least I do). But, what is your goal? "Cats in the Craddle" is always a good one to help me get my priorities back in the right mode.
Role model and practice love, kindness, patience and forgiveness and you'll be just fine! No one can please all the people all the time . . . Just remember, what are YOUR goals and how are YOU doing on them?
Dean, father of three little girls -- 5, 3 and 1 -- but don't let that fool you -- I'm old. 43. I started late.
However, I have taught elementary PE for 19 years so I do know a few things about kids.
