[quote=Anonymous]I’m going to answer for myself. Both. I overestimate some stuff, that I don’t really feel like beating myself up for right now. I underestimate how consistent I am, how much I listen to their feelings, and I whenever they are being bratty (temporarily), I forget what cool and fun and sweet kids they are (did I do that? Meh probably not). Idk. We all make choices as parents and we can’t do it all, and we bring to the table our previous life experiences that shaped us... and it all shapes them. I tell my kids sometimes that I’m not a superhero, and I run out of energy, and “it’s time to go to bed!” Or “it’s time to give me a break and figure out what you need by yourself.” So if I fall short somewhere, it’s because I’m human.
