Sad.
We have to remember that children as well as adults are human, and humans make mistakes in their lives. It is a part of life to deal with mistakes that we make and mistakes that our children make. I see a parent’s job as teaching our children how to live a good life, and making sure they have the skills to do so. We also have to teach them how to deal with mistakes because of course that will happen along the way. If we expect perfection from our children it will not happen. There will be disappointment along the way- usually small disappointments if they have been raised well; but at times the disappointments are huge any way and we still have to deal with them- dust ourselves off and begin again.
