“Home is where you are loved the most and act the worst.”
-Marjorie Hinckley
This quote reminded me of parenting advice a friend gave many years ago. They said to take it as a compliment if at home my child was extra emotional. That means they feel safe to feel and let out their negative emotions after a day of “being in their best behavior.” It’s also good practice to show grace and unconditional love when we see each other at our worst. But it’s also a place to practice showing love to those we love the most. My sister gave me the advice, “don’t be a mother that is yelling at your kids and disrespecting them but as soon as the doorbell or phone rings you transform into nice mom….try to give your best to your family”
