Today while wiping off blackened doors and walls, I realized that I broke that promise.
Here are a *few* other promises that I have broken:
- My children will not have dirty faces (how hard can it be to just wipe it off?).
- My children will never have snotty noses (read above).
- My children will not have temper tantrums in public (bad parenting).
- My children will be trained to not touch my breakable things (very teachable).
- My children will clean up their mess before making a new one (again, teachable).
- My children will always listen the first time (good parenting).
- I will be the parent who remembers what it is like to be a kid (how can you forget?).
- I will be the parent who is endlessly patient and loving (good parenting=good kids).
- I will be the parent who always has a clean home (good parenting=clean, helpful kids).
- I will be the parent who always has fabulous meals planned for each day of the week (what else do you do if you stay home all day?).
Failure or Perspective?
