Thankfully my kids know I’m learning right along with them.
Try not to stress over it.. no one has it all together and those that claim they do are lying!

I don’t know what it is about becoming an adult & losing the ability to listen, but it’s a common issue for many parents. I’m also happy to see you include FUN in your list, because we all simply want to be happy, no?

Enjoy your summer
