There’s no catch-all plan for parenting. Some kids need to be pushed, some need space, and there’s no way to tell whether the approach was the best approach until “Monday Morning”. All we can do is reflect later on when kids become adults, and even then who knows what the path not taken would have sown? Hopefully, being loving and compassionate is enough, and the fact that we did our best is what will be remembered.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms out there doing the best you can!
Yeah, I’m in my thirties making a good living loving what I’m doing and she still regularly brings up how sad it is I gave up on my “true passion” - the thing she pushed me into that I told her over and over I didn’t want to do. She cried when I didn’t choose it as my major. So… not applicable in my case
