By the same token, parents are not perfect either (I was devastated as a kid when I learned my parents made mistakes), so it's perfectly okay to apologize to your children for being wrong, overwhelmed or just a plain idiot. We are all human, and the sooner your children know that you, as parents, make mistakes like they do, life will move much smoother and they will respect you for it and possibly open a dialogue that was never there in the past. cimarockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11653055058590878146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-35922439430894060952015-09-15T14:02:20.951-05:002015-09-15T14:02:20.951-05:00Thanks Jen.
