Yes, deep in our hearts we want to have nothing but good things for our kids. Yet it's in the struggles that we grow.
I say that, and I mean that, but anytime something hurts my kid I'm miserable that she's in pain.
Sometimes the struggle is to know what things build character or have other meanings for their future and what things don't.
