RE: Simple Secrets to Happiness #1: You Can’t Do It All (PLUS a giveaway)
I don't know how old your kids are, but we gotta remember that they make that choice to have ____ character flaw and it's not because you didn't do your best - therefore you did not and have not failed as a mother. No matter how old they are, they do have their own brains and make their own choices whether or not it's "right" or "wrong". We can tell them the "right" way to do things, but in the end, it cannot be forced, only shown.
Yes, as proof, you can see kids in a family behave very differently though all were raised under the same parenting techniques. Kids are individuals with free will and distinct personalities. Gotta keep reminding myself of that, thank you for your advice and encouragement :)
