Getting frustrated with your kids doesn't make you inadequate.
Forgetting a lunch doesn't make you inadequate.
Having little to no patience or being distracted at times each day doesn't make you inadequate.

Just like your kids.

When you mess up... apologize and reconnect...and work to do better...and please don't beat yourself up for being human...
