[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends heavily on the child. There are some children where it is much, much easier to feel like you are a good parent because of their personalities and psychological and physical makeup. And there are kids where it is very difficult, even if you literally devote 24/7 to them, to ever feel like you are a good parent.[/quote] Yes, I have one of these kids. Our pediatrician refers to her as “intense” and our family therapist told us that most families she sees have at least one kid like this (I cannot imagine parenting two kids like this). I know sometimes other parents judge me for the level of focus and involvement I dedicate to parenting her. Oh well. If I left her to her own devices, she’d have absolutely no emotional regulation skills and also I think really resent us. But yes, it’s exhausting.[/quote]
