Tuesday Tip: Tell The Truth

It is funny, this scrapping and blogging thing.  You can present all the best parts of yourself and the most positive parts of life.  But the real world is not all bubbles and joy.  There are bad days.  You make bad parenting moves.  I think it is important to document those internal battles you have.

 

I scrapped this page to document how hard I can be on my son.  He is a great kid.  He has his things.  I have always been critical when looking at him.  I don't know why.  Is it my need to have successful children so that I can be successful?  It is my need to control life?  Whatever the reason, it has very little to do with him. 

 

So I told him.  I told him on this page that I know I am hard on him.  That I have high expectations that sometimes block him in. 

 

 

I let him know that I love him.  He knows this anyway.  But I wanted to say it again, using a nickname I have called him a million times.

 

There are so many reasons to love him.  And that is the truth.
