If there is anything I have learned as a parent, it is everything takes more time and patience teaching a kid good habits. Kids challenge every fiber of your being as they grow up. I can handle a fair amount of things, but I can also go from 0 to ticked off in a giant hurry. It’s the one quality I gained from my parents that I wish I wasn’t capable of having.
The delicate balance of trying to instill what you expect of them and how you handle it can vary from minute to minute. Every day is a new, exciting experience, with the hope that you get it right as a parent. It’s one thing if your child knows what to do, it’s quite laughably another if they follow it.
So to anyone about to be new parents, just know your children are learning the best they can. For those of you who are already parents...this was not the joke of the week, but hopefully you got a good laugh. Here are your flakes...
