I’m a good parent, but I’m not always a great parent
I love positive affirmations, but the ones that say, “I’m a great mom,” never hit me right. Now hear me out. Being a parent is hard . Harder than I ever imagined. I’m a good parent, but I’m not always a great parent—and that’s OK. I’m focused on being a good enough parent.
After a hard day as a parent, reflect on what happened. There have been plenty of days where I yelled at my kids way more than I wanted to, and I didn’t feel good about it at the end of the day. I spent many nights wondering what was wrong with me as a parent. Why could everyone else manage their emotions? Why was everyone else so calm with their kids all the time? Let me tell you a little secret: Everyone has emotions and triggers.

⁘We’re in such a different time, there’s just so much more information,⁘ Rumer told E! News’ Francesca Amiker at the premiere of her film My Divorce Party during the 24th Annual Beverly Hills Film Festival. ⁘My mom will be like, ‘You should do this with her,’ and I’ll say, ‘ Actually , based on what I’ve been reading, you don’t do that anymore.’⁘
⁘When you’re in that transition from maiden to motherhood, and you have a really tight relationship with your mom, there’s an interesting separation that occurs as you are discovering your own path as a mother,⁘ Rumer explained. ⁘There are things I take from her that I love, but there’s also stuff I want to discover myself.⁘
Rumer continued, ⁘I think as parents you want to give your kids whatever you didn’t have. But the beauty in what I’m learning is, she might not need what I didn’t get, because she’s her own person.⁘
One of her greatest takeaways from her own parents, who separated in 1998 when Rumer was 9 but eventually settled into being two of the most notably amicable exes in Hollywood, was ⁘a lot of laughter.⁘
