YOU ARE NOT ALONE

To the mum and dad who lost their shit today; you are not alone.

Parents arent immune to being overwhelmed, touched out, feeling pulled and pushed and at the end of their tether. We react (rather than respond), we snap over something insignificant, it happens. We get it wrong.

And then it gives us a chance to lead by example- we can apologise, we can explain that our anger was misdirected, and if we are the other parent- we can tag ourselves in and give our partner some reprieve.

Our kids don’t need perfect parents who are always in control of our emotions. They need to see that we all have our moments, we are all trying our best and we all mess up sometimes so they can be free to make mistakes and make amends too.
