The other day, I was really frustrated with Aliester (3yr old son), and I was venting to my younger sister about how Aliester is dealing with my breakup and how I'm not perfect so I can't always be a perfect and consistent parent. Then she just starts in with "well it shouldn't be so hard to be consistent." That just did it for me. I feel like its so hard sometime for other people to understand eachothers parenting skills or methods, because everyone wants to help, but each person and their relationship to their child is so intricate.
Actually, even with my friend who has a child, I have disagreed with certain ways she handles discipline, but in retrospect, I know she's doing her best.
I think everything filters into parenting because everyone was raised by a different person. Also personality differences, for example my sister is so laid back, and I used to be before I had a child, which I was trying to explain, but your patience can only go so far with little ones.
I know this paragraph is not the most cohesive, but its a vent, I guess I need to let some steam out! Choo Choo! LOL
