Being a parent is hard. Ask any parent, and they will tell you. I guarantee they will make it sound harder than it is, and then finish with “it’s all worth it.” We make it hard. The basic duties of a parent are not that difficult — feed and clothe your kids, provide shelter, and most importantly, keep them safe.
Keep them safe. It’s basic, it’s evolutionary. Ideally, if your kid is in a dangerous situation, your mind will clear, everything will slow down, and both physical and mental strength will be enhanced.
