For when the daily grind is just. too. much.
. As we all know, life with kids is tough — rewarding and joyous, too — but tough. There are times as parents when we think that we're royally screwing up. This occurs often with both me and my husband. And believe it or not, my husband suffers from dad guilt, too. So, when he thinks he messes up and is, I make sure to tell him one simple thing:"You're doing better than you think.
It's true. As parents we beat ourselves up daily. Just the other weekend, we had five soccer games, a dance rehearsal, and a dance recital — between only two kids! So, I needed my teammate to bring his A game to help navigate this overly complicated schedule to success. He was in charge of taking our son early toone day so that I could hustle our little dancer home and get her ready to join them at the field.
My daughter and I hustled to the field and brought our son the right colored jersey. All was fine. We all watched him score the winning goal. But later that night, the kids were exhausted from their active weekends. They both started acting out., crying to stay up later, and more . Finally, my husband's fuse sparked . . . and then blew up. He started yelling at the kids. Cue more tears. I swept in knowing my husband was overwhelmed from the weekend, too, and just needed his day to be done.
on the way, some big and some small. But what's important is to remember that as overwhelming as the daily grind can be, you're always doing better than you think.
