Life is hard. I remember being so fucked up as a kid because of decisions my parents made and who they were and how they treated me. I had an epiphany sometime after I had my children that just… solved it. I was the product of two people who had absolutely no business breeding and didn’t have the tools to try to raise a human being. It wasn’t personal. It’s not because I wasn’t good enough. It actually had nothing to do with me. I could’ve been the most perfect child on the face of the earth. They lacked the ability to see it. So… had nothing to do with me. That was a THEY problem, not a me problem. Been fine since that realization lol. And also, DON’T BE LIKE THEM because my kids deserve the best. I think… you should parent kids based on the kind of parent they DESERVE (the best) and not based on your own impulses, irritations, issues, etc. Self control.

Yes to ALL of that!

It was never hard for me knowing how to do the right thing for any kid. Or just do the right thing!

It’s hard to do sometimes but I am blown away how hard people work to twist things up and do things the wrong way.

They just prioritize what THEY want to do or how they want to react over what the kid actually needs. It’s pure selfishness.
