What are some things you vow NOT TO DO as a parent?

I’ll start:

Treating one child different/better than the other.

*Specifically I will not favour my son over my daughter.

I will provide reasons & explanations for decisions rather than expecting blind obedience.

*“Because I said so, don’t ask why”.

I will not let “reputation” and what other people think, dictate my child’s happiness.

*“What would other people say?”

When I am wrong, I WILL apologize. I will not have an ego with my child.

I will take responsibility for my faults & set a good example.

The responsibilities of providing shelter, food, clothes, & paying bills are mine as a parent.

I will not make my child feel like they owe me anything from providing them these necessities.

I will not justify poor parenting skills by saying “I’ve dealt with worse”.

My traumas, insecurities, pains, & frustrations are my own to heal. I do not want my child to go through the same harms as I have.
