Same can be said about teaching/parenting. If everyone's kids were naturally put together and didn't really need guidance then everyone would be parent of the year.

damn. the other day, i ended up snapping at my son in the car after he didn’t meet with a teacher to work on an assignment after i specifically told him to meet at study hall and even went so far as writing SH on his hand with a marker. overall, his grades are crap so far this year too. after feeling stupid for yelling like that, i reached out to the class counselor and asked for an appointment to go over my son’s lack of progress and try to get some realistic strategies that are less abusive.

i don’t want to be the kind of parent that only places the blame on my kid without trying to adapt/evolve as a parent, especially if it doesn’t work and creates long-lasting issues.
