I know the feeling on this one all too well, that was myself when I was younger, along with the kids being younger. What I have learned over the years is that expectations, you will fall short, at least with my expectations that I had for myself.
I have goals of what I want, but I also take pluses for the moment, the now, especially with how fast the kids grow up. My eldest daughter turns 18 later this year, I look back and I see sometimes when I was beating myself up, if I would just enjoy the smile that she had, life would have been easier and I would have been in a better state of mind.
Do what you can, try your best, but mostly enjoy the family. Especially over some !PIZZA 😃
Thank you for your words, I guess that living in expectations does not help at all in life, so I rather live in the smile of my beautiful daughter and in today's time :)
