I tell a lot of new parents that kids are amazingly resilient, so when you inevitably make mistakes, they’ll likely be fine. On the other hand, they’re amazingly sensitive and perceptive, so no matter how good of a job you do, you’ll probably leave then with at least minor issues. I mean, if someone you know has zero emotional issues, it probably means you don’t know them that well.
Sometimes I doubt my skills as a father. Then I read shit like this and realize I’m doing alright.

Same. As with so many things in life, giving a shit and showing up get you like 80% of the way there.
