Never knowing

By Loretta D.

Being a parent is about never knowing when you are doing the right thing. When giving advice, you really don’t know that it’s the right advice. We make decisions, but there are no guarantees that they are the right decisions. All we can say, is that at that moment, we give the advice that we think is right - at that moment. Only time will let you know if you passed on the correct advice. We do the best we can. We are not perfect. We work hard at it... and we will be blamed for many things later on (when our children are in therapy about their hang-ups).

To my children and their future offspring, remember there is no school for us parents. There are guidelines only and even those are blurry at best. Whatever we do, say, preach or teach as parents, we do with love, unconditional love.
