Summary
A parenting fail is simply a lesson wrongly considered.
~ Mike and Alicia Hernon
Have you ever let your emotions get the better of you? Have a discipline plan go south? Have a fun family time turn into a disaster? Yes, us too. All parents make mistakes! Even though we have a marriage and family podcast and we share advice and ideas, please don't think that we (like you!) haven't had some big "fails" ourselves! In this podcast, we share some stories of things we have done that didn't turn out the way we planned. The good news is that through these fails we have learned lessons that stay with us even today. Hopefully you will be able to see yourselves in our stories, laugh a little bit and maybe even learn something from these examples of our own messy parenting!

| 0:41.1 | And even though we say we're not expert, they're like, oh. |
| 0:45.6 | Well, you know, especially after doing the discipline guide, and we've been talking a little bit |
| 0:49.4 | more about parenting and just giving some of our ideas, but, you know, we kind of want to qualify that |
| 0:55.5 | we live by these principles, but we don't always live by these principles. We don't live up to |
| 1:00.9 | this. Perfectly. Yes, exactly. We don't always get up there all the time. Yes, it's important to have a |
| 1:05.7 | standard. So we thought it would be really fun to, and some of the stories we have are fails on our part, some are midstudgments, |
| 1:12.9 | but almost all of them are funny. They're all funny. Hopefully. Hopefully, we think they are. |
