parenthood





it's too bad they don't come with an owner's manual.
they are so amazing, and beautiful, and full of potential....
sometimes i'm afraid my amateur parenting is messin' them up.

like, let's be real.
i'm totally faking it.
i don't know how to do this.
being a parent is hard!

parenting requires lots and lots of patience.
and faith.
and money.

*all of which i could use some more of right now.

one thing i know i'm good on, is the love part.
oh, how i love them.
so, so, so much.

i know they feel it.
i know they know it.
that's gotta count for something, right?

Pretty much the love part is the important part. We all fake it. Still. There is no mother-in-law manual, no granny manual, and no old-age manual. We do it the best we can, day after day. I think you are an amazingly wonderful mother.
