co parenting quotes
blog Nov 12, 2021
The quote below is one of the ones that I always have on my desk at work: “If you have a choice between a happy and a sad person, choose a happy one.
As parents, we have a habit of thinking that we can control the outcome of our children’s lives. We convince ourselves that there’s no way we can do any wrong. But actually, it’s not that we can’t do any wrong. It’s that we are so desperate for the result we’re giving our children the result we’re actually giving them.
We make the same errors that parents make when deciding how to parent our child. We convince ourselves that we have the ability to make our children happy. In truth, we can only make our children miserable. Just because we don’t want the outcome that we are giving our children doesn’t mean that we cannot make that outcome our own. Just as we cannot make ourselves happy, we cannot make our children happy.
Because we are in control of our own happiness, we should be able to make our children happy, but unfortunately many parents are in control of the outcome of their children’s happiness. The sad truth is that most parents arent even happy with their children. They are in control of their own unhappiness, and are unable to help their children have happiness.
This is a difficult topic for us to talk about because we have a son and are not a biological parent, but we just wanted to share a couple of quotes from our own personal experiences and our thoughts on the topic. One is the quote about how “we should be able to make our children happy, but unfortunately many parents are in control of the outcome of their childrens happiness.
We often hear “I don’t want to make my children happy, but I can’t control the outcome of their happiness.” This is the wrong way to think about it. We can control things like what they eat and how they grow up. We can also choose to be happy ourselves and be a good influence on our children. We can’t expect our children to be happy if they feel they’re being “stuck” in some way.
We can make our children happy. However, we must take into account the things that are important to them. If we make our children happy by taking away all of their stuff, that will probably only make them want to steal more of it.
I’m not saying that all co-parenting articles are bad. However, many are not very helpful. I’m saying that many of them are full of harmful advice.
Most of the co-parenting articles out there are full of harmful advice, but there are a few good ones out there. I would like to offer this list of good articles.
