How do you stay close to your kids?

May 5, 2015 Parenting, Stay connected with kids, Uncategorized

navigate to this web-site How do you stay connected with your kids? I talked with a friend about this yesterday. She’s a working mom, and feeling so distant from her teenager. She’s also feeling pressure to be perfect. Oh, mamma.

meilleur site de rencontre avis 2015 Perfect is an illusion. It’s like a Martha Stewart cookie — an impossibility without a staff of twenty and Photoshop, and to attempt it, or pretend you’ve got it, is just pain all around. Forget perfect. Be mom – messy, imperfect, trying her damnedest to do well by her family. Be you.

Sorry I got testy, it was a hard day at work and I’m feeling pressured to get dinner ready; none of that is your fault and I shouldn’t have snapped at you. Sorry I was late picking you up from practice, I know that can make you feel stressed, I should have left earlier. Sorry I was looking at my phone when you were trying to talk to me; phone’s off now, and you are important to me, what do you need?
