Positivity

In an effort to be more positive (following Mrs. Chicken's lead), I will promise never to use my "bad parenting" tag again... instead choosing to use things like, "Parenting Challenges" or "Puzzles of Parenting." 

Things that are more positive in nature. We'll see if the positive talk inspires me to be less critical of my abilities and help build my self-confidence.

It helps, you know. It does. :)

You would never tell your son that he's a 'bad boy,' so why would you tell yourself that you're a 'bad parent?'

I think it's a fab move!

ME, TOO!!! ME, TOO!!! Although I've been using the term "half-assed parenting". This is crazy, because I damn well know that I use my full ass every day!!!!
