If you count how many times you feel like a BAD PARENT, maybe by etching marks on the wall outside their bedroom door, two things: One, you’re crazy. And two, you’re maybe NOT crazy???
According to a new report, the average parent feels like a “bad” parent THREE TIMES per week, or about 156 times per year.
And 45% say parenthood has been more demanding than they expected.
The average parent discovers two situations with their kids per week that they have NO CLUE how to handle, and parents admit to needing a break from their parenting duties TWICE A WEEK. (Uh yeah, good luck with that.)
It’s not ALL BAD, though: Kids make their parents laugh 12 times per day on average. So there’s that.
As I got older I realized that my parents weren’t bad parents, but that they were a product of their environment growing up and took their life lessons with them into our world. Things were wayyyy different back then, but I wouldn’t want to change a thing.
