My husband and i have a secret to making our marriage last. Twice a week we go to a nice restaurant,drink a little wine,eat nice food, and enjoy a good conversation. He goes on Tuesdays and I go Friday.
It was called a “sense of humor,” and almost everyone had one and most times people would laugh when you said something funny instead of being angry and defensive.
You know what’s fun is when you’re getting unsolicited “advice” from your parents who are in their car on speakerphone, and then their friends Steve and Cathy chime in from the back seat
So unfortunately my Mom membership was revoked because they found out I’ve never arranged to have my family’s picture taken in a field of wheat or wildflowers.
when I was 17 I was driving with my step dad in the car. I was excited to have him listen to a couple of songs I loved. He shook his head and asked why I listened to dumb songs like that. from there on out I stopped sharing things that I loved with him.
EVERYTHING you say to your kids matters more than you think.
Being a parent is saying, “Life will be so much easier once this stage is over!” only for that stage to be followed up with an even more annoying stage.
Forever.
