Why i am "mean" as a Parent!? A talk with my Daughter.

Okay, This is our first podcast, and like everything we do or start for the first time we SUCK at it, and it will get better as we keep going. This is a conversation, with me and my Daughter to kinda break the Podcast ice, and get her to chat with me and open up with me and get to know a little bit of what my teenager thinks and goes through. Also, tried explaining what the difference is between being mean and being a parent and parenting. We talked about how me as a Dad, i dont know what im doing, there was no step by step manual on parenting and explained to her that i am learning as i go and learning her behaviors, and she needs to understand me as well, when i yell or get upset at certain things. I asked her questions and we just went with it and had a nice chat.
