I find parenting very difficult.

Saying this cause I don't hear it said much, yet I think almost every parent feels this way

It's not easy and it doesn't get easier. I'm not a trained counsellor or doctor or accountant or taxi driver, I rarely feel like I have enough money to cover all the requirements of so many other humans, I feel under qualified to do this job. I'm always exhausted. It's hard

I do it of course, I do the best I can in that moment. I can't do more than that. And sometimes I mess up or make mistakes or handle something badly, and that's part of parenting too.
Parenting is the hardest & longest path to spiritual enlightenment.

To consciously parent in a way that was different to the way I was parented has been one of the most difficult challenges of my life. It's easy to fall into the pattern we grew up with - extremely difficult to choose to do things better. I'm proud of that.

If you are a parent and you've ever had a paid job which would you say is/was more difficult
