Ok Millennials who are parents, listen up. At some point your kids are gonna be adults, and you just might have to apologize to them for your parenting choices. It might be something relatively simple like, “I’m sorry I dressed you like the child of a depression-era seamstress.”
Most likely, you might have to apologize to your kid for something that you said or did that hurt or traumatized them. There’s a chance that, unless that was your aim, you might not have realized it.
I see a lot of parents of our generation stuck with decision paralysis because we want to do the absolute best and absolute right thing for our children. I am concerned about what this is doing to your family long term.

Nice guy who wishes everyone could just get along. Thinks racism is a sin problem and not a skin problem and that calling someone a racist is bullying them. Wants you to watch your language b/c calling people white isn’t nice.
