I tend to think that as parents, and human beings in general, it is good to value and cherish our own strengths, while not getting discouraged or side tracked by our personal weaknesses, even while we acknowledge our personal weaknesses.

I have found that to be a helpful strategy in living life, and I think it's a strategy I also want to instill in my son.

I wish you, @ironmanmatt and your family the very best @helenoftroy. Thank you for sharing your ideas about parenthood.
