parenting skills

sometimes i feel like such a failure as a parent. i try so hard to do the right things for and with my kids, never realizing i've failed until after the fact. then i spend the rest of my time scrambling to "fix" what went wrong. i'm sure every parent can relate on some level.
in our family we have three household rules:
no laughingno smiling

and no having fun!

everyday i fail, sometimes even before breakfast.

what's a mom to do?

  4. oh scrib. you have so much to learn about me. FAR (in rare capitals) from perfect.

    the cheeks, oh the cheeks. beans listens to me when i softly sing in his ear and he pushes those cheeks into my lips. i can't carry a tune to save my life, but i try - just to get close to those soft baby cheeks.
