As a parent

 As a parent, there is nothing I hate more than having to punish my child.

It breaks my heart every time I do.
But I remind myself my job isn’t to make their childhood perfect,
it’s to prepare them for a world that won’t always be gentle.
I’ll be the “mean mom” today if it means I raise a kind, respectful, and grounded adult tomorrow.
