I am wholly unprepared to be a parent.

And yes, I'm pretty sure I might be thinking about adopting that as my mothering motto.

It’s not an uncommon feeling for a lot of parents, I know.

It’s something that you might expect to hear from someone about to have their first baby, maybe. But not someone who's already a parent, right?!

Let alone the somewhat seasoned parent of a 13-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy.
