Before I had kids, I thought parenting was about teaching them.
Teaching them discipline.
Teaching them kindness.
Teaching them confidence.
Teaching them how to behave.
What I did not realize… Parenting is not about teaching.
It’s about being exposed.
Motherhood exposed my impatience.
My control issues.
My nervous system.
My ego.
My marriage.
My priorities.
Today I want to share 7 of the biggest lessons parenting has taught me so far and please DM me if any or all resonate with you!
