Can I complain about my kids? Why Parenthood Can Be Hard and a Gift at the Same Time.

Are children a burden or a gift? If children are supposed to be a gift, why is parenthood so hard? In today’s episode we talk about children, parenthood, and how good things are sometimes hard and we ask St. John Paul about complaining about our kids.
