Sometimes when I walk into a session I really wish that I had a tshirt or a billboard with these statements written on them in big letters, just because I feel like I repeat myself all the time:
1. Being a parent has to be one of the most difficult and underappreciated jobs.
2. You need to take care of yourself too.
3. When kids say things like "I hate you" they usually don't mean it.
4. YOU ARE THE ADULT, NOT YOUR CHILD
5. If you don't talk openly about sex with your kids, they WILL go to other sources (ie the internet or their friends) for an education.
