Summary

The comparing game can be so tempting.

Why can her kids do that and mine can’t?

Why is it so easy for them and everything is so difficult for us?

Why do we have to go through this?

I wish my child was like that.

Trust me I get it, I live it. But in this episode of the AT Parenting Survival Podcast I talk about how to get out of that mindset or at least not live in it permanently.
