8 thoughts on “When parents feel like failures”

  1. This was incredibly timely. I finished our homeschooling day stressed. I looked at my husband and said “I think I’m failing our oldest son. Maybe he should be in school.” And I meant it. What if I failed him? What if he doesn’t ever GET it? We’ve been homeschooling since day 1 and I’ve never felt so defeated. Thank you for sharing your inspiration. God speaks through you.

    1. Awww, Mandy you absolutely made my night… to know that I could encourage you today truly makes me smile. Trust me, I’ve been there. For 20 years of homeschooling 4 daughters I had so many days where I genuinely thought they may be better off if I give up the battle and stop failing at teaching them… I’m so thankful that I eventually learned we truly can be the best parents (& the best teachers) in the midst of our failures. There is no one else out there who will ever care as much about your son’s success as you do–on your worst days that are riddled with failure. ❤️
