What else can I say about family time?
Let go of your expectations of what “should” be and, instead enjoy what is. Especially as your kids get older, they have the right to a say-so and to have agency. Enjoy what is; the more people with say-so the less you get to have at the steering wheel. Maybe that is a good thing, maybe not.
Speaking of enjoying, the phase you’re in? Get used to it. Relish it. Go with it. It, too, will pass. And then you’ll have to take a moment to figure out what the new thing is and repeat repeat repeat. Maybe the phase is a lot of screaming. Maybe it’s a lot of “me do it!”. Maybe it is silence and brooding. Regardless, it, too, is a phase.
Do not imagine that you are the end source of information. So, in turn, take advantage of the curious nature that kids have and learn with them. There is always something new to discover.
Stand back and see what an amazing human you are helping to grow. There are bits of you in there. Bits of your partner. Bits of all of the experiences your little person has had, and they all link and grow together to create that amazing human. It’s a marvel, really.
Your family time really is the best time.
