That's a nice thing to do. I like that she tries to work with her kids instead of against them.

My poor ass would've just given mt child a journal instead lol

Don’t dismiss that! A journal could have helped! Sometimes you just need to let things out plus, as someone who has had trouble finding a therapist for myself (yay insurance! No one is ever accepting new clients and if they are, you gotta wait 5 months for an appt!), it’s one of many alternatives.

I love that this is one of the first comments because journalling has helped me 1) reflect back on what I used to write down and realise I've changed as a person and 2) is a non-judgemental space where I can be as ugly as I want without hurting anyone.

I've been looking into the benefits of journalling lately, and some of the prompts are completely eye opening. Journalling is great!

[lamppost1911]

I love this!!! It’s so true. I used to be so good about it but haven’t journaled in a while. Like you said, it shows us how we’ve changed, especially when we think we haven’t and in the past it made me learn the specifics on how to better myself.

I mentioned in a below comment how much it helped my bff and for that I’m so grateful because I didn’t realize how much she was hurting 🧡

What kind of bubble do you have to live in to realize parents and tweens/teens aren't always going to get along? Literally every family sitcom is about this. Also you named your kid Honor, I'd be mad from the birth certificate on. (Therapy is good but this explanation is....)

[chll51]

To be fair, honor is a lot better than some other kids' name.

[matsaurus]

Lol fair and your comment is so much nicer than mine but I've been watching Traitors Season 2 today and I think my inner villain is coming through.

[chll51]

Let your innter villain shine lol honor is a dumb name but in a sea of dumb celeb name, it's better than most haha her name could've been much worse.

[jojito]

Good for her.
I wish my mother would've done something like this. We fought so much when I was a teenager and I used to get jealous of friends who had great relationships with their mothers.

We're fine now but we lost so much time on stupid stuff. Time you can't get back.

I feel the same way, teenage me hated my mom & I wish I hadn’t wasted that time being a little shit

[umilicious]

My mom and I were like this too. It really colored how I wanted to raise my daughter. I didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable being herself around me, since that’s how I felt (and still feel) around my mom.

Same, I think therapy really would have benefited my mom and me when I was a teenager. Unfortunately my relationship with my mom never really recovered and it's one of the reasons I don't want to have kids.

OMG her daughter looks exactly like a girl version of her husband.
