Some people have blogs that make their lives look like they are simply full of happy days and hearts and flowers.
I think that is fake.
Today, I had a nice day at the office. Then, I came home.
I have been spending years trying to learn how be a calm, rational, non-explosive, affirming, lovely parent. I have read books, attended seminars, and yes (gasp!) even been in therapy. Lots.
I did not behave well with with my family tonight. Afterward, I needed to go for a long walk, to try to sort out both my feelings, and my failings. I came home after a while, and apologized. At nearly 50 years old, I am still working out what it means to be a good husband and father.
Its not easy. I need more work.
Just wanted to be honest here.
