Being parents to 4 children, hubby and I, of 34 years, struggled with realizing we were not great at this 'parenting thing'. Why we thought we would have it all together before we had kids, was a very judgmental place to be, but we realized we were going to have to learn as we parent.
You never are where you need to be on this journey of life, but you need to ensure you are on the right road with the understanding that you need to be continually learning.
I share my struggles and accomplishment as well as all I have learned in the hopes of helping you be on the right road for your journey.
