April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Next is sharing "Confessions of a Parent" to wipe away the perception that parenting is as fun and easy as people make it look on social media.
It's OK to struggle and to admit you need help before something tragic happens.
It's also fine to simply admit that parenting isn't everything you imagined it'd be.
We have received many "Confessions of a Parent" from you at home, but we also have one from a newbie: Kyle Clark.
Take a look in the video above, and share your own: Post to the Next with Kyle Clark Facebook page or tweet with #HeyNext, or email next@9news.com, and let us know if you'd like to stay anonymous.
