As kids we all say when I grow up I am going to be nothing like my parents however over time I find me doing or saying things that are what my parents did. So you are right we learn behaviours from our parents and some of us are more self aware than others. In my observation parenting is a hard and yes at times thankless job but I have to hope our parents didn’t have us for the sole purpose of being thanked every five minutes but yes a little appreciation goes a long way I suspect- point is don’t be too tough on yourself and have faith that you are an awesome person and mum. You do the best you can with the resources you have and life isn’t always fair and your kids will need to learn these things one day too. They might not say it enough but also suspect your kids love ya heapsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797034976346258340.post-74267968309069781772022-05-18T09:03:54.246+12:002022-05-18T09:03:54.246+12:00Well I do like a big question, as you know lol May...Well I do like a big question, as you know lol Maybe there's room to be both sometimes as well? I'm doodling at the moment about what my 'example' looks like, and I'm going to do one about what my 'warning' looks like too. Because balance .... and overthinking everything.
