Hello Reader, News of the Week Do you lie awake replaying every single parenting fail...? This week I literally failed in front of my kids. This week, during Winter festival, we went as a family together on the ice rink. Our boys were excited... Little did they know that their dad is hopeless on the ice hahahaha I'm quite literally like a fuckin new born baby giraffe, learning to walk for the 1st time. Picture that baby giraffe... long limbs, arms flailing, zero coordination. ...that's me on ice! My last memory of being in the ice rink was with my cousin, probably over 20 years ago. And I sucked back then too. But hereโs what stuck with me: As parents, we expect ourselves to be steady all the time. But parenting is full of wobbly moments... like being a giraffe on ice. And sometimes, that wobble turns into guilt. The โI shouldโve done betterโฆโ stories we replay at 2am. So here are 3 ways Iโm learning to deal with parental guilt:โ
1. Remember what they really see.โ โ
2. Share the fail - donโt hide it.โ โ
3. Shift the question at night.โ The truth? Your presence matters more than your perfection. Stay strong, stay steady... and if youโre wobbly, stay in the game anyway. Your kids are watching. Look, we are all imperfect parents going through life... but as a community we support each other, have each others back and we have fun along the way!
