If you’re chasing their bedtime more than you’re chasing them.
If you’re laughing at memes more than you’re laughing with them.
If you’re griping and grumbling more than you’re seeking to find out why they are.
If you’re hunting for peace more than you’re bringing it with you wherever you go.
If you tune out more than you tune in.
If you’re all in your head more than you’re enjoying your time in theirs.
“If than” becomes “if then,” and
if any of this sounds like you,
and you’re not the parent you wanna be,
then change.
