Going to be vulnerable here. I used to beat myself up when I lost my patience.
Snapped at my kid, then felt like garbage for an hour. But here's what I've learned: the repair matters more than the rupture. Going back, getting on their level, saying "Hey — I shouldn't have raised my voice. That wasn't your fault. I'm sorry." That's the real parenting. Your kids aren't learning that dad never makes mistakes. They're learning what a man does AFTER he makes one.
What's one thing you've had to repair with your kid recently?
