Parenting is tough!

You know parenting is probably the toughest job you will ever have. I have recently been looking at statistics regarding parenting, and the involvement or lack thereof of parents in the lives of their children. When you look at statistics, it can be pretty depressing. In all the statistics I was looking at, parent involvement in their kids lives was the key. See, we're gonna make a lot of mistakes along the way in our parenting, I know that I have. There has been many times where I have had to go back and ask my children to forgive dad for overreacting, or for being unreasonable, etc... But the thing is, when looking at these statistics, being there is over half the battle. Being involved in our children's lives in a positive way is the majority of the challenge.So don't give up or quit! Your perseverance will pay off. And pray alot, God will be with you through this. You know as hard as parenting can be, it is much more a blessing than a challenge.
