Grace for a dad who messed up big time

C

Lost my temper with my son yesterday over something stupid and said things I shouldn't have. Been feeling guilty ever since and honestly ashamed. I apologized to him this morning and we prayed together. He forgave me right away in that way kids do. Reminded me that I need to extend the same grace to myself that God gives us. Trying to be better about managing my anger so I can be the father and Christian example my boys deserve.

Man, the fact that you feel awful about it shows you care. My kid has seen me lose it too, but what matters is the apology and doing better next time. You got this.

We all have those moments where we say stuff we regret. The key is owning it with your son like you're doing. Kids are more forgiving than we think if we're honest about our mistakes.

New dad here so I'm still learning, but I already know I'm gonna mess up plenty of times. At least you're aware and trying to make it right. That's the whole game right there.
