Oh, so you’re a Wiseguy, Right?
Describing parenting as “leading” might be a tad generous. Sometimes, it feels more like wrangling cats or attempting to keep a handful of marbles in one hand without a container. You focus on keeping one from wandering off, and suddenly, three others have magically rolled to the other side of the room and are hidden under furniture, completely out of reach.
And all of this happens while no one seems to be remotely interested in listening to you because the shiny object in the corner is far more captivating than any attempts at authority. It’s okay; we’ve all been there. All the chaos and challenges are worth it for those moments when your kids look at you with adoration and come running to you because they genuinely want someone they trust.
