You're more likely to say in your next meeting to your team, I'm sorry I yelled just because they did the thing and made it more okay. So you guys making mistakes in front of your kid, believable ones. Maybe you're doing a crossword puzzle. Oh, I got the whole thing wrong. Oh, I burned garlic. Oh, sometimes when I burn garlic, I feel like I'm a horrible chef. Am I a good chef? You know what?

It's okay to burn garlic. No one's perfect. Because when we just say to our kid, it's okay to make a mistake. It's all here. That's not how kids learn. It's through experiences. So this is just one of many things, but that's actually probably going to be more powerful over time.

You struggling, then the lessons we directly teach them, which don't end up sticking because again, it just speaks to logic. But logic is obviously not even present in the moment when we all get upset.

I'm going to try to answer all that. You'll let me know which parts of the question I lose as we go. So what you started with just resonates with me so strongly. And I think it really is the reason I get out of bed every morning, right? Parenting is the most important job in the world. And it is the hardest job.

And it's probably the job we'll have for the longest number of years because everyone knows it's more than 18 years, right? So And someone said to me, I'll never forget, it's the only job you care about on your deathbed, which I was like, OK, that's heavy. But I think that's I mean, I wouldn't know yet, hopefully, but I think that's true.

But I think that's I mean, I wouldn't know yet, hopefully, but I think that's true.

And it's also like the only job that falls under like very difficult, very impactful, very ongoing that we literally get no training for. Right. And like if my friend was a surgeon and called me and said, I'm not doing surgery. Right. And I'm messing everything up and kind of messed up this person forever. And I'm so bad.

And then I started poking around and it turned out she never went to med school or never went to residency. I'm pretty sure I would say to her, hey, this is not that you're a bad surgeon. That's not what this is. You weren't adequately prepared. And it's probably time to invest in resources.

And I just want to say, too, because I think it's important that if she said, don't worry, I got all my tips on Instagram. I'd say, OK. I mean, you might want to do a little more in depth than that. I think you deserve a little better than that. And yet this is what parents are set up for.
