Same boat, same feeling. But I also think there are mistakes we aren’t making, a maturity that will lead to perhaps enhanced outcomes for our kids even if not for us.

Even kids have less responsibility and more oversight today than generations ago. I wonder if that contributes to speed of maturation.

Not GP, but I suspect that increased emotional maturity would prevent one from lashing out, overreacting, underreacting, being unable to emotionally support one's child, etc.

You dont have to live your dreams through your kids (happens to ppl with unfinished potential due to early parenthood)
