5 parenting truths to remember after one of THOSE days
Some days I feel like I’m nailing it as a parent. I’m not entirely sure what that actually looks like; all I know is that it feels like I’m doing a good job. Probably, the kids are dressed/fed/happy/haven’t said anything offensive in public.
Then there are those days, where it all goes to crap. Most of us have had them – the days that seem long and overwhelming. Often they’re filled with tears and tantrums (of the child and/or adult variety), and a strong desire to just go back to bed.
If you’re having one of those days, or you’ve had one of those days, you’re not alone. Here are some things to try and remember at the end of it.
1. Tomorrow is a new day
It might be a cliche, but boy is it true when it comes to babies. If there’s anything predictable about kids, it’s that they’re unpredictable. The day might have been awful, the night might be long, but there is so much hope to be found in the moment the sun comes up the next morning. Tomorrow might just be one of those winning parenting days.
