Parenting is tough, man. Every single day I’m pretty sure I’m screwing it up. Every life lesson, major event or new scenario feels like a path to multiple crossroads and you just have to hope you chose the right one. There is such a fine line between having their back and being on their team and also making sure you’re not enabling them to be an as***le. I feel like I see glimpses of my baby less and less lately. These pr***en years are roughhhhh and gentle parenting is so stinking hard when you’re literally parenting a miniature version of yourself, attitude and all. She’ll keep learning. I’ll keep learning. We’ll both keep apologizing when we take things too far and we’ll just keep navigating things one teenage day at a time. And I’ll keep being thankful for these small moments of watching tv together and seeing her fall asleep like my little baby used to.
