I am not the best parent or person. My daughter hears me swear, sees me lose my cool, gets away with more than she should, and gets disciplined for things she probably shouldnt. She hates brushing her teeth, and I get tired of fighting with her, so sometimes she goes to bed or school with dragon breath. I have been the cause of unnecessary and unfair tears, I have been the source of over the top privileges/spoiling. Sometimes, she is so rude to other people, that I want to grab her sassy little self and pull us both into a hole of humiliation. She acts just like me and its enough to make me feel like the ultimate failure as a parent and a person. She makes me want to be the best person possible and I know I have a long way to go... But at the end of the day (this day, specifically), even after a particularly hideous display of foul behavior on both our parts, I can say that my child understands the statement and importance of this song and the message it sends. At the end of day, my child knows that LOVE IS LOVE, no matter what. And she knows that even if I say f@#! to her in exasperation (I said I wasnt the best parent), she is loved. We held hands while we watched this and discussed it. It wasnt anything new to her. Its part of her world. Its a truth that just IS for her. For everything Im lacking as a parent, I know Im doing something right.
