20 Things Every Parent Needs to Hear (#8 Had Me In Tears!)

1. You are a hero for your kids. You are. You’re a go-the-distance, fight-the-dragon, face-the-challenges hero for your kids. Taking a beating makes that more true. Not less.

2. We all struggle. Every parent. Everywhere. We all second-guess ourselves. And we all want to quit sometimes. Hold the good times close, and when things are tough, remember, “this, too, shall pass.”

3. Finding the funny may not save your soul, but it will save your sanity. Or maybe it’s the other way around. Either way, look for the humor and embrace the crazy. Laughter is a lifeline.

number of kids is a lot of kids, and no one knows that more than Beth Woolsey, mother of five and writer of the popular and wildly honest Five Kids is a Lot of Kids blog, where Beth and her husband Greg strive to live out their motto: raising kids to someday be self-sufficient enough to pay for their own counseling. Beth and Greg’s kids are adopted and homemade; singletons and twins; teens and littles; a variety of colors; and some have special needs, all of which give Beth a unique, chaotic and diverse perspective on living a life full of magic and mess. You can find Beth at her blog and on Facebook.
