RE: Lost Life Skills...
I have often considered home schooling, but sadly I just don't think it is that widely accepted nor equipped for here in SA.
And no, don't beat yourself up. I know exactly what you mean though. Parenting does not come with a handbook and can be so enormously challenging at times.
Well said. The handbook is something we have to write as we go, I think, because the parenting choices we make need to match our own values and views of the world. My handbook included telling my kids I loved them every day and saying I was sorry if I lost my cool — two things I didn’t receive from my parents. If I was to teach a parenting class, I’d start there. 😊

oh yes yes YESSS to that! Especially the apology part! I ALWAYS make a point of sitting down with Jude to apologise for losing it, but to also explain they "why". We have a wonderful relationship in that respect.
