failure: morning edition

Momo doesn’t want to go school.

Waking her up becomes a battle in which she deploys her most capable defense: pretending like I don’t exist.

Not waking her up makes me feel like a shitty parent. Waking her up but not getting her to school makes me feel like a shitty parent.

Either way, I know the consequences of this “sophmore slump” - if it is indeed “temporary” - will not be catastrophic, but …

I can’t help but feel like I’m failing her, and yet, my only true option is to accept that. I fail too.
