  • The Patience I Don’t Have

    I don’t get how parents do it. I don’t get how you can just let things go when your kid fucks up royally. I don’t get how you have to sit here after a huge argument and love them anyways. I don’t get how to talk to them without putting my feelings above theirs. They…
