When Your MIL Says You’ve Failed as Parents: Finding Strength in Doubt

Hearing my mother-in-law say we’ve failed our kids stung more than I expected. As parents, we’re constantly questioning if we’re doing enough, loving enough, teaching enough. Her words echoed my own secret fears, but also reminded me that every family’s journey is unique. We’re not perfect, but we love fiercely and try our best every single day. I know our kids feel that, even if others can’t see it. Sometimes, criticism from loved ones hurts the most, but it can also push us to reflect and grow. Has anyone else faced this kind of judgment?
