My girlfriend went on to say she sometimes puts too much pressure on herself end of day she recaps the day and is hard on herself. Like she should of had more patience, she shouldn't have yelled at her child. She is trying hard but hasn't figure it out. I turned to her and asked is there really anyone who you admire as a parent? Is there any parent you want to copy. "no" she replied. Well there you go I said. We all are just trying our best there is no parent out there who has figured this out.
End of day look back and say I get the day my best and if you can't change it for the next day. No matter what studies say, no matter what authors have written, journey of parenting is a guessing game for us all.
