- Practicing Parenting: I’m getting back to being a better parent Monday, July 18, 2011 @ 3:31PMYou’ve heard it before: Parenting is the toughest job in the world. For all the reasons we parents know — the 24-hour shifts, the lack of job training, inconsistent schedules and challenges to our intellect, emotion and psyche.
