I think it's harder to be the perfectionist parent for sure!!! If my DC saw how many times I broke down from "failing", they'd call me names!!! Ha! Thankfully for me, my DH is quite the opposite! He keeps us all sane, I think! Haha!

You're doing the best with what you got and what you know, and that's all that matters. Recognizing the issues now for me and my DS have made it MUCH easier for both of us to get through our tantrums!!! smile
