A Look Back: Parenting
Parenting doesn't come with a manual. It is on-the-job training. You will make mistakes, but what you do when you realize those mistakes or when they are brought to your attention makes the difference. Family is difficult. We all want our parents to be superheroes, and when they don't live up to our expectations, we turn on them. But what are our expectations? Are they reasonable? Perhaps it's time to stop and reflect on what you perceive as the perfect parent. It may not be realistic.
