Post 190: Admitting it Always Helps

April 01, 20231 min read

Yesterday I was mean to my daughter. My excuses were: I was in a hurry, she was being mean to me, and she was being mean to her friend.  Despite all that, I was still mean to my daughter.

The next time I saw her I said, “I am so sorry, I was being mean.” That got me a hug.

The real power in admitting when I screwed up, to the person I screwed up with, is they feel seen. They feel respected. Even if my original actions didn’t respect them.

We all make mistakes. Admitting it brings us closer together.
