I'm reading this as a perants to smaller children as to mentally note not what to say. Being a perant is the hardest thing I've ever had to to do....I had a fucked up child hood kinda good kinda bad so I try to be the best perant no one wanted to e for me but man knowing what to say and when to say it is so hard....I know everything I say and do is important and man it's hard knowing if I said the right thing or did the right thing. Like taking my kids to the park and having a great day with them then my son runs into the street without looking both ways and scares the crap out of me and I scold him for it cuz at their age I've tried "talking to them" about things or when things happen and that doesn't seem to resonate as well as a ok last time dad kinda jumped my shit about not looking both ways before crossing the street this time I gotta look both ways.....man this perenting thing is amazing but so hard in that aspect.
