Being a Christian Parent Today

Being a parent today is overwhelming, (though I suppose it's always been difficult). Grandparents may very well be a long ways away and possibly not even together. They may not be able to offer much help.
Some peers hit on child-raising books and theories that solve all their problems. Unfortunately, their books and theories contradict each other. Bound to be told if you haven't already, that what you're doing or not doing (whatever it is) is wrong and maybe it's true. So many options for schooling and some people feel so strongly about some options.
When your kids drive you crazy, you can cry, pray, or go on reality TV. By way of further encouragement, it's possible, according to psychology, that every bad choice you make will wreck your kids for life. Definitely drives me to frustration, tears, to my knees and to my Bible for wisdom, as I strive, often failing, to be a parent bringing up real, sinful but saved (except the baby) and striving kids who are in the world and yet by God's grace not of it.
