It’s not a matter of if you make a mistake as a parent…it’s
a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if you say something to your child that
shouldn’t be said…it’s a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if you look at yourself in the mirror
and say, “I did good” …it’s a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if you ever have a ‘do as I say-not as
I do’ moment…it’s a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if you ever hurt your child’s feelings…it’s
a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if your kids make you so proud you can’t
stop smiling…its’ a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if you ever feel like a complete
failure as a parent…it’s a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if your kids ever hurt your feelings…it’s
a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if your kids ever disappoint you…it’s a
matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if you know your kids are the best
thing to ever happen to you…it’s a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if your kids ever make you so angry you
can’t see straight…it’s a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if your kids ever make you question your
ability to as a parent…it’s a matter of when.
It’s not a matter of if your kids decide to question whether or not to live with the morals and values you gave them as children...it's a matter of when
Parenting is the most difficult AND most important job there
is. It is also a job with no guarantees—no guarantees except love, because…
It’s never a matter of whether or not you love your kids...it's a matter of knowing you'll love them forever and always-no matter where, no matter when, and no matter what.
Love,
Momma D
