You're Failing As a Parent

Updated: Apr 16

When the kids break up for their school holidays, you know what's coming. 


Hours of time spent at the soft play


Sticky tables, shitty overpriced coffee and the mum club in the corner clucking to get home for a Pinot Grigio


Kids crying everywhere you look, covered in Wotsits' mush and dried snot


And yours? 


Pulling at your arm to come play with them


“Not right now kiddo, you go find a friend to play with” 


All your kid wants to do it play with you, but you can't face crawling around in the ball pit for getting too sweaty or stuck in a tube because you're too big and embarrassing yourself.


It's easier to tell yourself you deserve a break isn't it. 


You chill out while your kid is having fun


But deep down you know, YOU are failing as a parent. 


Their basic desire to just play and bond with you is being denied because of the choices you keep making


How many more times can you justify not being able to set an example for your kids? 


That's right, fucking zero.


You keep telling yourself you need to make a change, to get on top of your shit but where do you even start? 


How do you show up for yourself & your kids with the confidence to start suplexing kids in the ball pit again? 


You need someone to hold you accountable


Because right now you can't do that for yourself, you need help….and that's okay


Help from someone that understands how important their kids are and how hard it is to show up for them when you're running on empty all the time


You need me. 


Taking this step is the best thing you can do to show your kids you are who they think you are
