Parent Check-In

Parenting is TOUGH work. It's exhausting. Draining. Messy. 

Sure it's rewarding…but let's be honest: it doesn't bring out the best in us.

I recently had an epiphany when talking on the phone to a friend from college. Like myself, he ended up getting married and is now the father of 4 kids. We don't talk real often so this "check-in" involved a lot of catching up but our conversation shifted toward the very real struggles of our kids driving us nuts! Our dialogue did not consist of any solutions or tips or exhortations to "do better" or "be better"… it was just simply acknowledging the struggle and swapping a few anecdotes of how we struggled. Yet, it was so refreshing; a relief; and a reminder that I wasn't alone in the throes of parenting.

My epiphany then, from this conversation, was that it'd be good to just have some people out there who need to be real, check-in with each other, and remember they're not alone. Others feel the pain too…and maybe we can encourage and pray for each other. If you want to be in the group, sign up below. We're in this together.
