Home truths...the things parenting has made me realise

[Inertia]

Since becoming a parent, I have called my mum a few dozen times to apologise. LMAO.

And yes - I can neither control nor fix everything. Nor is perfect an option anymore. I was a horrible perfectionist before, and while I still am, I am more forgiving to myself and my kids than I would have been 10 years ago.

Umm, that I'm a bit selfish and impatient...

Same... I used to work with kids and everyone would comment on how patient I was with them. I don't know what happened- maybe I used up all my patience- but I am not nearly as patient with one ds as I used to be with a room full of 20 kids running feral on sugar.

I have started asking DH where I can buy more patience...I honestly thought I had more in my store-room!
