We do not know the ways we hurt our kids
Although we try our parents not to be;
We think if we’re not them, that is enough
And miss the faults we are too blind to see
But our kids see them everyday, and so
They build a catalog out of our sins;
And grow to want to be nothing like us
With our forgotten love
Shoved into bins
So very true. think about this a lot. Thank you for putting it into words.
Thank you.
It’s not a comforting thought, but it seems to be true.
Agreed!
I know I’m far from perfect which is why I try my best to let them know I’m not perfect I make mistakes too. That’s all I really know.
We all do, we all do.
I always try to let my kids know I’m not perfect but I try my best. Sometimes parents try to act like they do nothing wrong. For me, if you are truthful – and strive to do your best -they will be thankful.
I think you’re right.
This is so true, I’m still young, so this makes me feel really guilty… I mean parents can’t be perfect, it is a flawed world, and it doesn’t help that kids like me are selfish and prideful. At the end of the day, I guess it comes down to unconditional love.
I think you’re right. We do our best to give unconditional love, and then turn things over to hope.
