This chapter explores the difficulties and obligations that come with being a parent, emphasizing the ever-changing nature of the role. It introduces the concept of the Stoic Parent Ten Commandments as a tool to assist parents in their journey towards becoming better caregivers.
"It doesn’t matter if you’re the president, a doctor, or an internationally touring musician—they all agree that the hardest job is being a parent. Because it’s not just a job. It’s the job that you have to do on top of your other jobs. It’s the one job you can’t quit or get promoted or retire from. It’s the one job where the responsibilities are never clearly defined and always seem to be changing. It’s the one job that there is no training for. That you don’t get paid for either."
So how do you do the best job at your most important job? Find out on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
