What’s Your Relationship to Your Own Parenting?

In general, I don’t feel like I parent much because of the custody and visitation issues. When I am parenting it’s mostly good but I’m definitely still learning constantly. I think not having a permanent house would make aspects of longer stays difficult, basically Keira would never - or at least it would take longer for her to - feel like she has a space of her own when she is with me. Staying at one - or as few as possible- place(s) consistently would help.

How do you feel about parenting now?

See above.

What are your frustrations?

I don’t do much of it.

What do you want to feel instead?

Like I am a parent more often.

What would you like to change about your behaviors?

Sometimes I don’t ask simple and straightforward and often enough questions of her mom. Sometimes I say she can’t go home when it would be more reasonable to just let her go home. Maybe it would be good for me to correct her a bit less often.
