What's your parenting Achilles Heel? (self.dads)

Example: I'm awful when it comes to the kids waking up throughout the night. It's not so much that I don't deal with it well, cause I do, but more that the prospect of it causing significant anxiety in me.

It's something I'm working on every single day, but still something that gets the better of me at times, especially now I've got a school age kid who's coming home sick every few days.

Where do you feel like you need to improve as a parent?

I've become such a light sleeper now that I have kids. It's a real pain in the arse but it's getting better now they are a bit older.

I need to work on remembering that my youngest can't do everything the same that the older one can and stop getting frustrated. It's an easy thing to do, and sometimes she does act older, but I need to be there more to help without her asking.
