The image shows a happy family playing outdoors in a grassy field. A young child, dressed in a gray outfit and black leather jacket, is being lifted by their father while attempting to kick a soccer ball. The father, wearing a black jacket and beige pants, is smiling and engaged in the activity. The mother, also dressed in a black jacket and white pants, is crouching nearby, watching with joy. The scene conveys warmth, togetherness, and the joy of family bonding.

Do You Ever Feel Like Having A Child Ruined Your Life?

March 02, 2022•1 min read

Have you ever felt like having a kid ruined your life?

I KNOW this statement is incredibly controversial…

However, when you work with parents whose children are suffering so badly with daily meltdowns like I do,

It’s a statement that we hear frequently.

A statement that, of course, is the most shameful thing a parent can admit to.

Because anyone with a pulse and a drop of empathy knows that even having that thought for a fleeting moment ONCE must affect your relationship with your kid…

And their relationship with themselves.

And since we only work with awesome parents, who always have awesome kids,

Admitting something like this is not only gut-wrenching.

It can be paralyzing.

But don’t fret just yet. We have the answers you need. Tune in to hear more.
