My only regret is that I could have been a better father… Sunshine and 72 degrees are on deck for Las Vegas today, time for a ride. I hope you have a great new week, friends!

That is a beautiful photo of your daughter on her horse. You did the best you could at the time, and I am sure that was more than sufficient, John. She still talks to you and you get along, no?
Parenting guilt is a real thing. It hits me every time I even think of doing something for myself and I have to be reminded that my happiness matters too.
I’m glad that you have found that you matter too, K! Hugs. ☺️
Well, those guilt sand bags are still around, but I’ve given up on being the model martyr mother.
Hi John, A common feeling in parenting but it’s best not to be too regretful. ☺️
Thank you, Jane. I don’t let this bring me down but it does pop into the old brain cells here and there…
I’m sure you are too hard on yourself, we all are I think. I’m sure you were a terrific Dad!
I am, Trum, thanks for the thumbs up. We all carry our regrets like battle scars I guess…
Oh yes we do for sure!
A kind of cut that can’t be seen…
I echo everyone else’s comments here, we all have regrets as parents. You did the best you could, be kind to yourself. 🙂
Aww thank you, Sylvia! I did do the best I could, I suppose that we can’t ask anymore of ourselves, can we…
John, we do our best to be good parents. Please, no regrets because I am sure you did and do your best.
Thanks Kaya. I tried! She’s a good daughter these days.
May God fulfil your wishes 👌🎉
Thank you! ❤️
We all wish we could have been a better parent, but in the end, I’m sure you were great.
I hope so, thank you! She’s been married for three years and has a good job. Proud of her!
