I sometime get anxious about them. This in turn makes them irritable and anxious.

+1. Also, in the early years I had a lot of anger. I have it under control now but I wish I'd had it under control then.
+100 anger (also has gotten better, but still get overwhelmed and then get snappy).... & phone. It's good to write this out. Helps renew resolutions for tomorrow!

I yell a lot. When my kids are misbehaving and not listening to correction, I just resort to yelling. I hate it and I want to stop but I just keep giving in to yelling.

I'm not super involved. I'm not in the Parenting Olympics a lot of other parents seem to be in. I'm absolutely the parent who takes them to a park, says "Stay where I can see you," and plops down on a bench playing on my phone. I'm just not super into kids.

Why is that bad? Your children are being fed, who cares who cooks?

Focus too much on work and my own life. Or is that supposed to be inspirational / motivational? I don't know... Feels like it sucks, but that's real life, right?

I have high expectations for my child and I know that sometimes that is hard on her.
My parents had no expectations for me and so I find it hard to empathize sometimes - my child has opportunities and support I only dreamed of. But I'm aware that there can be a fine line between supporting and pushing too hard.

I’m too strict sometimes.
I spend too much time on my phone.
