Ramadan day 1 - You are not free of responsibility.

Disclaimer: these Ramadan reminders each day are a reminder for myself first and foremost before it applies to anyone else.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and his children and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it. No doubt, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. (Sahih Bukhari)

Being a parent requires leadership abilities, and if Allah has give you the blessing of being a parent, then He subhana wata'aalah also knows that you can be a leader. Not just any leader, but a great leader. Use the month of Ramadan to recalibrate yourself, and in sha Allah, your family.
