When you're unkind to children, they don't stop loving you, they stop loving themselves.
@RickiTarr Excuse me while I go relive every time I yelled at my boys.
@JamesMDonohoe I'm sorry! I think it's more cumulative than that, no one can be perfect, being a good parent is the hardest thing you can do.
@RickiTarr
Shared the exchange with my boys, older replied with something sentimental 'amazing dad and grandfather' stuff, younger immediately made fun of older boy and said 'we were going to be fucked up anyway but it's the good kind of fucked up' and older laughs. So they are kinda broken but not completely.
