Parenting is not for the lazy or those in it just for the Hallmark moments. Parenting is a full time gig. It is messy and it is difficult. It doesn't matter if you are married to the other parent, divorced and doing the step-parent life our rocking the single parent life.
We should all want what is best for our children and that means there will be times when it is hard. There will be nights when you want to sneak out and escape because the stress of raising children to serve our Lord is hard!
Take heart! Even if you are a single parent with the other one totally out of the picture you can do this. You will mess up and yell, make the wrong choice and feel like you blew it! Forgive yourself, seek the Lord for wisdom and vent to a friend. Then, move on.
You are never alone. You have Abba helping you. He forgives your parenting blunders. Give yourself a break and Kit Kat and go back to loving your kids.
(This is mostly a pep talk for myself. It had been a day!)
