The Day My Kid Totally Broke My Heart

Mar. 21, 2023

BIG TEARS
The Day My Kid Totally Broke My Heart

Oof, my heart: "It was the last thing I expected to see when I opened my son's backpack: 'Sad day. Nobody wanted to play with me,'" writes Becky Vieira today. "It was written across a piece of paper in his sweet, sloppy, misspelled kindergartener's handwriting. Underneath that he drew himself standing in the rain with a sad face. Wrote his name and crossed it out. And my heart broke in a million pieces. My sweet, outgoing, kind boy had his heart hurt. He's the kid who won't let anyone be left out. But today, he was the one sitting alone."

What are you even supposed to do in a moment like that? Becky's working through it, as we all do.

Raising Teens Made Me Question Myself As A Parent

"I'm going to be brutally honest: As a mom of teenagers, there have been times I've felt like giving up on my kids," admits an anonymous writer today. "Each of them has gone through periods where their grades slipped, they didn't have any motivation, and their selfishness was off the charts. I racked my brain trying new things but I felt I wasn't getting through to them." So what do you do when you find yourself in that place? Read and see if you'd take the same approach.
