Parenting: the humbling experience
Sure, I've written three books on parenting, but my kids constantly keep things in perspective for me. It's challenging raising five kids--heck, even one was a handful. And even though I give all sorts of tips and suggestions to other parents, I find myself breaking my own rules on occasion. And don't you think my kids don't pick up on it. The other day, I started hollering at one of my kids and he turned to me and, with a very solemn and knowing expression on his face,said, "Mommy, you better go read your book again." Parenting isn't for the weak at heart. It humbles even the greatest egos.
