I think the hardes part is unlearning what you thought was right about parenting. I don’t want to be toooo transparent but iykyk. the most rewarding part to me is seeing that the things that I changed havw a positive impact on and for my childre.
Times have changed, maybe allowing them a window of transparency through you allows them to see that not everything is butterflies in rainbows in real life. If you shelter them to much life will teach them quickly that the shelter will not be there forever. Having a positive impact on your children is so important everyday because life outside of your nurturing may not be so gentle.
