Of course, in hindsight we all could have done better in so many ways but then parenting is something where we take decisions when we are in the middle of it. Some right, some wrong.

I bet you have a huge list of those things and you have a load of happy healthy grown up kids to prove it. I'm always so interested to read about parenting from your perspective, thanks so much for sharing with us at #TweensTeensBeyond Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15167630322103481821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900246097326241068.post-37432620395279696432017-06-22T19:04:24.928+04:002017-06-22T19:04:24.928+04:00I couldn't agree more that children shape who ...I couldn't agree more that children shape who we are and what we become. Rest assured that we all have regrets and the downside of hindsight is that you forget that at the time you made the decisions for all the right reasons and because they were right for you and your family at that time.

You mustn't regret though as everyone will sit there and be guilty of the things you mention. We've all been there, are there even! Give your kids a call. Arrange a date.

Of ...This was a lovely and thought provoking read. Of course, we all do it don't we - giving priority to the things that don't matter like the mess and the homework. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and we don't get a rehearsal for this parenting lark do we! My take away from this and the last week is to ease up on the messy bedroom.
