I can’t express how deeply your words resonated with me. As a mother, I often find myself questioning whether I’m doing enough or getting things “right.” Your words served as a beautiful reminder that love and being present for our children are far more important than striving for perfection. Thank you for putting into words the quiet struggles that so many of us face and for offering compassion instead of pressure.I really needed this today.
Where was this post 33 years ago! Good stuff, Chris!
Very interesting, even for this non-parent. I can sure imagine how I would constantly feel like a failure.

Thank you for your kind comment. I’m so happy you found my post encouraging. I think many people feel share your sense of self-questioning.
If you stay present and continue guiding them and responding to them with love, you’re on the right path.
