Tag Archives: Perfection is not the goal

Some say having twins is a double blessing, and I cannot refute that, but that doesn’t alleviate the added pressure, because if I get this wrong, I ruin the lives of two people, not just one. The natural progression of parenting is with more experience you get better, and unfortunately, but true, the first child experience can be comparable to the probationary period with a new job and as your learning about the job expectations and how you’re a good fit, the employer and colleagues are evaluating you as well. I guess the only difference is that you just can’t just leave if you don’t like it, well actually, I’ll just stop there. Nevertheless, I have high expectations for myself, but I know the only perfect person is GOD. As my parents used to tell me when you are kid, your parents should be your GOD, and I know this may seem controversial to some, but I get the gist, that you have to be a representation of GOD as he has given you a gift and they look to us for everything. If you think about yourself as kid, and how you were completely dependent on your parents, I believe as parents we should cherish that gift. I just hope if my girls read this one day they will know that I gave it my all, and although I made some mistakes along the way, it was done with love, good spirits, and their best interest in mind. What would you want your kids to say about you when they talk to their own children? What traits or characteristics do you hope they emulate of yours? What traits or characteristics do you hope they do not acquire?
