It's the same conversation — and now you're standing there thinking, this can't be my life.
Surely it's easier in everyone else's house.
This week, I name the trap almost every parent falls into without realising it: denial.
Not the big, obvious kind — the quiet kind, where you're standing at the bottom of the stairs for the third time going, I can't believe he's doing this again, right before you start bargaining, pleading, and eventually losing it.
I walk through the loop — denial, bargaining, anger, hopelessness — and what it actually looks like to step out of it.
Not by fixing your kid.
By recognising this is happening, it's shit, and you're still bigger than the problem.
