Good parents

I used to think we were good parents.  That was before our kids grew perceptive enough to see us for who we are and how we are.  Now that they see the hypocrisy I don't feel like quite as good of a dad.  I suppose being a stellar example is not the end-all-be-all of a parent but I think it does help.  I suppose there is some value in letting them know you're imperfect but it's hard for me to accept imperfection.  I love them for who they are and they know that.  I support them when they do right and when they make mistakes.  I love them unconditionally.  So I guess I'm not that bad.  I just wish I could be what they deserve.  Perfection and nothing less.
