Megan is better at detecting when someone is being inconsiderate towards her than when she is being inconsiderate towards someone else who is not just like her—that’s mostly a function of lack of perspective due to inexperience/immaturity, but I sometimes expect more from her in that area than she’s capable of giving atm. And the next level of that is that as the adult, as the parent, it’s my job to mediate that, navigate that, ameliorate that, what’s the word I’m looking for? Use my own awareness and perspective to know how to not take it personally and petulantly, and remain available for emotional support to anyone who needs it, as much as possible in the way that they need it based on who they are. While still staying sane myself. That’s the job. So I guess I kinda abdicated, kinda failed at being the “do your homework” parent; but at least I can still make supper every night and be... whatever else I can be. That’s not nothing.
