The “Best Friend” Lie

May 5, 2024

Who wouldn't want our kids to be our best friends? It sounds like a wonderful goal. If we are "parenting with purpose," this seems like a great end game. Yet, it's a trap...it's a lie. In fact, it's worse; it's a mirage and it's impossible. Why? Because all parents - the worst parents and the best parents - occupy a place and exercise a role in their children's lives that no friend ever could. Learning the critical difference between being a parent and being a pal, this Sunday at MHCC!
