Parenting is so difficult. I know my parents did their best. And when I became a parent, I know I could have done better. No perfection. Good intentions and mistakes; frustration and joys; tears and laughter. There's no manual to follow.
Most of us also try to be on the same page as our parenting partner, which is another level of complexity because of the way each was raised. Somehow, we muddle through. And if our kids recognize our humanity, then we can be very thankful.
Letting go... two small words with such powerful consequences.

Thanks for your insights, Renato and Happy Father’s Day a little bit early!
