I don't want to miss a thing. (But not in a cringey Millennial Aerosmith song sort of way. The vibe is more "wow, I have two teenagers how did that happen?")
“Like…if we do a good enough job at this parenting thing, they’ll still like us and want to hang out with us maybe, and that’s wild to think about when you’re in the middle of feeling like you’re losing them.”
It blew my mind to start thinking about parenting not as simply raising adults but in terms of building a relationship with my kids that they'll want to continue as adults. Doesn't hurt less, but it was a revelation.
BRB; sobbing. This…gutted me. 👇
