My kids are too young for me to answer this but...I wish I could see what I'm doing wrong now so I could fix it. But that isn't how it works is it? We are bound to make mistakes some big and some small and we only find out when it's too late. Sometimes I look at someone else and see what I think might be a parenting mistake and obviously I keep my mouth shut but then I wonder what it in doing that and everyone's keeping their mouth shut . I wish they would tell me  kind of

Thank you everyone for all the insight. I have a lot to think about and implement.
I’m realizing for myself the most important thing is to let go of the things/behaviors that will change with age. I know if my oldest was my youngest I’d be way more chilled in how I parent her. So I need to let go of a lot of expectations…
And of course to try and be more present with them and listen more.

I began taking Prozac when my oldest was 10.
I wish I would have started taking it sooner! I thought it was normal to be constantly irritable.
I wish I would have known earlier that my boys were ADD. It would have made those long, isolated shabbos mornings more bearable.....meaning, I would have just let the, do things and not be so rigid.
I've taken a gazillion frum parenting courses over the past 15 years...but what has helped me the most is working on being a calm, simchadik person that people want to be around.
