Growth as a parent
So last night I had one of those Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad parent/child exchanges. BC and I just couldn’t seem to work things out. It was an emotionally grueling exchange which left us both sobbing and exhausted. It made me doubt my skills as a mom. Did I do the right thing? Should I have handled it differently? I’m not sure. But did I do the best I could? Yes.
Thankfully when BC woke up this morning, he came running out of his room, smile on face, straight into my arms. Thank goodness children are so very resilient.
Hopefully BC’s getting close to the end of this new defiance phase and all can go back to normal in our house.
I wrote about our exchange over at SVMB today.

I can officially not be as good as a parent as you are. Heck, I am only a mediocre Uncle. BC and eClaire are truly blessed to have someone like you and hubby in their life.… especially in times like these.
