Kay contemplates, as every parent does, the answer to the question ‘Have I not given them enough? or have I given them too much?’ Parenting can be hard and Kay shares how in even a very short time small people can be both hugely challenging and hugely loving as they try to find themselves in the world. There are days when every parent can feel broken by the experience and wonder what they can do to make things better and why they don’t seem to be able to meet the needs of their children but a family is an everchanging experience about learning and growing together and every day is different.   KEY TAKEAWAYS I can’t meet his needs anymore and if I can’t meet his needs what is there that can be done? Nobody wants to admit that they have been pushed beyond their limits. No one wants to be the person who feels like a total failure. You can be left feeling a failure in one moment then cherished the next when they hold your face in their hands and kiss you gently. There is no manual and people keep saying it’s just a phase but it seems to be going on and on. He has a strange way of demanding what he wants, he can be rigid with rage but then he melts and skips down the stairs and is happy but Inside of me is still full of frustration. Have I not given them enough? Or have I given them too much? Parenting is very hard and today they have broken me but I need to learn how to get him through his anger and frustration. Everything is so hard but my love for them will never change and needs will have to be met.   ‘BEST MOMENTS ‘Just saying no can cause a dispute with a 3-year-old and as he screams and hits out I’m trying to decide which battle I want to try and win’ ‘This isn’t the first, the second or the third time this is a constant’ ‘My love for them continues to grow with every day’   VALUABLE RESOURCES IVF Before and After Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST IVF Before and After was founded by Kay Dempsey.
