What we want our kids to say
We want our children to say that we were great parents who did our best and that they felt loved. It is important to prioritize spending quality time with our children, especially as they grow older.
What we don't want our kids to say
We should also consider what we don't want our children to say about us. We should avoid being the parent who does everything for their child, neglecting their own self-care. Running ourselves into the ground while parenting is not a desirable scenario. Reflecting on potential failures can help us clarify our values and goals.
We know what we want our kids to say about us when they grow up. We want them to say that we were great parents, that we did our best. We want them to say that they knew they were loved. We want them to say that they love spending time with us–especially now that they’re older and they have a choice.
