The Hardest Part of Parenting Wasn’t What I Expected

I always thought the toughest part of having kids would be the sleepless nights or the endless messes. But honestly, the hardest thing for me has been watching my kids struggle with things I can’t fix for them. Whether it’s a tough day at school or a friendship that’s falling apart, I feel every bit of their pain. I never realized how much my heart would ache when I couldn’t make everything better. It’s a lesson in letting go and trusting that they’ll find their own way, even when all I want to do is shield them. Have you found the hardest part of parenting was different than you expected?
