I love this and maybe our kids feel the same. Just when they think they have our code figured out. It gets rewritten because we in turn are evolving, growing, learning parallel to them. It’s a beautiful journey - especially travelled together.
Right? Same here—two decades in and I’m still surprised by how often I’m learning (and unlearning). No doubt, parenting is the hardest thing I’ve ever loved this much.
That means more than you know, thank you!! Maybe “I don’t know shit and that’s how it’s supposed to be” should be the title of *your* parenting book. Seriously though—you nailed the heart of this whole thing, and I know you get it. We don’t need all the answers, just the willingness to keep showing up curious. So glad you're here for it and always grateful for your contribution.
Really love this. As children begin questioning themselves, you and the world around them, it is so vital that home is a soft place to fall and allowing them to be confused and to voice that confusion without lecturing and being right...well, it's priceless.
So beautifully said, Lisa. That “soft place to fall” is everything, especially as the world starts feeling sharper around the edges. Giving our kids space to be unsure—without rushing to correct or control—is such a quiet, powerful gift. Thank you for this reminder.

Couldn’t have said this better. 100%, yes! 🧡
Oh so true…20 years into parenting and it’s still a mystery sometimes!

Have I ever mentioned you’re awesome?
Every line hit like a powerful quote that stilled weaved beautifully into this empowering piece.
It’s ironic that we can become more powerful with the realization that we are mostly powerless.
Your ability to demonstrate this in the most difficult realm, parenting, is phenomenal.
Continuously reminds me of an important truth - I don’t know shit and that’s how it’s supposed to be.
