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

In this episode, I address a major question that many parents have asked themselves: 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. 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.
