+ to “we’re all winging it”. I tried so hard to gently mold and direct my kids (now all grown). I wanted more than anything for them to grow up with confidence (which I lacked as a kid). I tried hard to help them become what I thought everyone would define as “successful”. Pretty much none of it worked. They’ve turned out fine, but they’ve done it their way, on their time table. What I did right was (try to) show them a lot of love. Even that didn’t come through as well as I’d hoped. What I wish is that I had realized all this sooner and just relaxed and enjoyed the time more.
