It’s easy to get fixated on the little things with parenting; it’s tiresome, you can never clock out, and kids drain your bank account like no other. While these things are true and can be incredibly frustrating, it’s essential to sit back occasionally and think about the enormity of bringing lives into this world. Parents have one of the most critical jobs in this world: creating and nurturing human people! It’s not an easy job to do well, and anyone who has so selflessly taken years and years out of their adult lives to care for little humans has my utmost respect. There’s no way of knowing how raising a kid will be. The only thing you know for sure going in is that it will be tough, and if you’re still trucking along, I’m proud of you. If you’re a parent in desperate need of a laugh right now, these parenting posts will surely provide at least one.
