How confident are you in your parenting?

1 Answer

Answer :

Oy baby – did I “self-assess”! At one point I even went into therapy because of issues I was having. I did talk to close friends who were also parents – we discussed issues, read and advised and listened to each other. My “boys” are now grown and are loving, giving men but I wish I had been able to raise them with more joy and less angst than I did.
