Do you have any regrets when it comes to your kids? The kind that keep you awake at night and race around your brain?
I have two.
The first one is from a year and a half ago. I was trying to get E to walk with me but ended up dragging her instead. It was a tired and angry moment and I am not proud of it.
The second is from just a few months ago. I was dropping E off at her grandparents before school, and while I was talking to my mother-in-law in the kitchen I heard E yell "Grandpa, stop!" I don't know what he was doing, but it was clear he didn't stop. Why didn't I have the presence of mind to stop my conversation and stand up for my child? I don't know and I am not proud of it.
I hope someday I can apologize for these moments. I know there will be more moments that need an apology too.
