So I have this “core memory” mentality to parenting. When my kid does something really annoying (like want to go to the public bathroom just because I’m going) I remind myself that I don’t want this to be the one thing this month/ year he remembers when he’s 20.
This is a fantastic way to look at it keep it up even though it’s hard.
There’s so many memories I have that are… less than stellar… that I remember from growing up that my relatives don’t recall at all.
A great way I heard it is, “The axe forgets but the tree remembers.”
That’s an understandable approach.
On the flip side, that one thing he remembers down the road might just be a critical life lesson. It still might be an important development, even if they remember it negatively. They’d suffer worse if they don’t learn the lesson at all.
I don’t know what I’m looking at. Is that a kidney stone?
I read it as the bladder.
I thought it was a testicle for some reason, it is roughly the right shape
It’s bladder.
