If you want to be a parent… Be one.
Don’t talk about it, don’t blog about it, don’t argue or complain about it. Just be there and be a good parent. It starts with putting yourself after your children no matter how your day or week is going. Once you bring a child into the world you lose your right to “Me first.” No matter how many problems you have, a parent never gets time off from their children’s needs. And they always need love.
And if your child states that they are trying to make you see what you are missing. Maybe you should actually listen because maybe your child is feeling like they are not a part of your life.
Again, if you want to be a parent… Be one. Take responsibility for your actions with your children. They don’t stay children long, time is precious and always moving forward. Make memories not regrets.
Bitter are the tears of a child: Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child: Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child: Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child: Do not harden it.

Just wait til they become teenagers and you keep trying to be part of their lives. The game changes at this time because you know you are losing them, but they want their friends more.
Oh, you will get some time with them, but look out for the mood changes, then you wanna run as far away from them as you can!!
I have 2 girls and I am holding on for dear life!
