It's Not a Matter of If...It's a Matter of When

It’s not a matter of if you make a mistake as a parent…it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if you say something to your child that shouldn’t be said…it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if you look at yourself in the mirror and say, “I did good” …it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if you ever have a ‘do as I say-not as I do’ moment…it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if you ever hurt your child’s feelings…it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if your kids make you so proud you can’t stop smiling…its’ a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if you ever feel like a complete failure as a parent…it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if your kids ever hurt your feelings…it’s a matter of when.

It’s not a matter of if your kids ever disappoint you…it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if you know your kids are the best thing to ever happen to you…it’s a matter of when.

It’s not a matter of if your kids ever make you so angry you can’t see straight…it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if your kids ever make you question your ability to as a parent…it’s a matter of when. 

It’s not a matter of if your kids decide to question whether or not to live with the morals and values you gave them as children...it's a matter of when

Parenting is the most difficult AND most important job there is. It is also a job with no guarantees—no guarantees except love, because…

It’s never a matter of whether or not you love your kids...it's a matter of knowing you'll love them forever and always-no matter where, no matter when, and no matter what. 

Love,
