I realized something the other day…and this may seem like the most obvious thing in the entire world to you…but it was a revelation to me. As a mom I was trying to find the magic road that would make me a good mom that would lead me down the road to making Finn into a good person and a contributing member of society.
Then I realized that there are many roads that end in the same spot. The end goal is to raise a good and responsible citizen that is empathetic and intelligent. However, there are many ways to get there. There is not one right answer or way to get there and there is also not one mistake or moment that makes them the opposite of that.
It is a lifetime of modeling and caring that makes a great person. So now I know that 2 + 2 always equals 4 but raising a child is a long road of single steps with no one right answer.
