I’ve got awesome kids.
and I mean it.
subjectively. objectively. slice it however you want…
I’ve got awesome kids.
and I am damn proud of that.
talented. thoughtful. kind hearts. good work ethic. athletic.
how?
someone called my wife and I, ‘lucky,’ and no doubt, luck plays a role.
but with three kids, that seems like a lot of luck.
so how?
I thought about it and came up with my answer.
I asked my wife—who’s at least 80% responsible for their awesomeness.
how do we have awesome kids?
and she responded with the same answer I came up with, verbatim:
"we do the hard things."
as a parent, you come to a crossroads with your kids many times.
you can pick easy.
or you can pick hard.
we, as imperfect parents, pick the hard.
and we have awesome, imperfect kids.
try harder,
JM
