Parenting takes courage. Not all of us have to face that...many of us have kids who do pretty well with the combo of our built-in value systems and the culture we live in. But for those who don't, parenting them requires incredible fortitude.
This comment spoke loudly to me. No wonder J and I feel so exhausted at the end of each day. Incredible fortitude takes a lot of energy! We don't have an ordinary experience in parenting. Ours is extraordinary. And I'd not trade it for anything in all the world. But, it's nice, every once in a while, to have it validated. Nicer still to know, in our heart of hearts, that extraordinary will triumph.
