It’s funny

 It’s funny how the people who show up the least have the most to say about how you’re raising your kids.

The ones who aren’t there for the hard days.
The tantrums.
The sleepless nights.
The appointments.
The sacrifices no one claps for.

They don’t see the effort, the love, the constant choosing of your kids over comfort.
But they’re quick with opinions.

Parenting from the sidelines is easy.
Doing the work is not.

And honestly, I’ve learned to take advice only from the people who actually show up.
The rest is just noise.
