I wrote this massive 3 paragraph thing about my kid (8M) who has been wanting to go to an event at his school. It included the cost I have to foot by myself even though I’m coparenting, the frustration of feeling like I’m alone in this and more.
After typing all of it I realized.. Being a parent is HEAVY and it won’t stop any time soon. Regardless of that my son doesn’t care about the little things like I do. He just wants me to show him love every day, read a bedtime story every night and make him a soggy microwave melted cheese sandwich.
So for all of y’all that sit in that dark corner like me-feeling like you failed your kid or you’re not enough-just remember…
They don’t sweat the big stuff. Our kids just want love and probably some chicken nuggets! #relationships source
