Google: Answers to All of Life's Questions

Feeling particularly discouraged the other night, I googled "Why do I suck as a parent?"

There were 13,600 results.

Thanks. Thanks a lot. Like I wasn't feeling bad enough already.

That's a very dangerous thing to do. I googled, I'm bored one day, and you wouldn't believe what came up!

Um, why were you asking? It might be the validation I'm looking for.

tz said...

that's funny!
(and it's very doubtful you suck as a parent....you seem very committed and loving to me!)

fox: After feeling so crappy about things, 13,600 results actually made me laugh out loud.

mom of 3: I hear ya! I don't suggest asking "why do I suck as a mother?" Apparently, 'mother' and 'suck' don't do well together on a search engine!

vern: typical misbehaving, tantum-throwing stuff. But I wonder why I can't seem to prevent that kind of behavior.

tz: you're kind. I'm just frustrated that committed and loving don't seem to be enough...

Sweetie - you don't suck any more than any of the rest of us! (That may or may not be of consolation to you...)

Remember, this is a gift that God is giving your parents in payment for having had to wonder about their own parenting skills! My mom really enjoyed a good grandchild tantrum, and what it did to the parents. Made her giggle.
