I was just explaining to someone that I have to be: a parent, a teacher, an engineer and a husband. I feel I am doing all of them equally badly sigh


My guess is you're doing better than you think. Be gentle with yourself and watch that self-talk. It can be a killer.


Remind yourself that the fact that you are even in your children's life on a daily basis already puts your children ahead of 1/4th of the U.S.

> According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 19.7 million children, more than 1 in 4, live without a father in the home.

That's okay, I was doing all those things badly before the apocalypse.
