A short excerpt from a YouTube discussion (Dave and Ashley Willis) about parenting. The speaker reflects that they read many parenting books but still felt unprepared because each child is different; this feeling of inadequacy can make parents 'scratchy' and irritable, especially toward close loved ones.

We read all the books. I mean, we really did. But even if you read all the books, you're just never quite prepared. And every. Every child is so different. And they, you know, they're going to follow some of the norms, but they may not follow some of the norms, you know? And I just remember feeling so inadequate. And in that whenever we feel inadequate, that's when we can get real scratchy with people, okay? And especially with the people that we love the most, that we're closest to.
