I realized today how hard I am on myself. Here I am trying to be gentle with myself, and I found it was the last thing I was doing. I’m hyper-self-critical and I don’t know where I learned to expect nothing less than perfection, and when I feel someone else criticizing me, it gets even worse. How do I teach my son not to live this way without driving myself crazy that I’m doin’ it wrong? Not to worry, I’m doing the best I can, and I tell us both that I am only one person trying to do it all. I hope to teach Little Guy that doing his best is good enough, even if it’s not always perfect.
