My audience is you! Family, friends, future children and anyone who wants to read this. This is also going to be really important to have for me to look back on further into my marriage. We have only been married for 2 years and these principles will help me for the rest of my life, and hopefully yours too.

I want to have my own children and I am sure somewhere many want them too. I want my own family. We all want to make a better job when having our own families than our parents did. Do you want to behave 100% like your dad? Do you really want to be a copy of your mom? The tough job has to be done before engaging in relationships because unsaid things affect marriages, children, lives. It is not fair towards the future generations for the trauma to be passed on by us. By denying our own freedom we deny it to our future lover and children. We can’t progress inside a relationship more than we did in our family of origin. When at the family dinner the soup of silence will be replaced with a glass of freedom of speech, the table will change. There might be a few earthquakes and attempts to resist the change. But if the effort leads to replacing an old menu which made everyone sick inside, it’s worth skipping that darn soup. You’ve been eating it for far too long anyway.

I had this need to “connect” with them. My approach as a “friend” was usually met with dubiety. When I tried to counsel my children the reaction was mixed. If my timing was right it went pretty well. If not, it was unpleasant at best. The teacher? That was a real problem. I somehow got it in my head that I was there to teach them a lesson. One night my daughter told me she was going to a friends house. She eventually told me she’d been with a boy. I got very upset and called her a liar. She got very upset and stormed out of the house. I figured she needed to understand that lying was wrong. What I failed to understand, but she later explained to me, was, she told me a fib to avoid the inevitable questioning, probing, teasing that she may have had to endure if she’d told me where she really was going. She was probably right.

I also see myself getting very angry lately. And that is the hardest part for me. I can see and read too much about what other people are doing and I feel frustrated, hurt and honestly jealous sometimes. But then I remind myself that I need to take a deep breath and practice a little more empathy. It’s what I wish those people would do for us so I will choose to do it for them. Does that mean I agree with what some other people are choosing right now? No. But it does mean I will actively try to put myself in their shoes and let go of taking things so personally.

Listen. I am not exaggerating when I say I have wild kids. Listen to any episode of Sharts and Giggles on the internet, and see that my kids are about two degrees below hers. One has ADHD. One feeds off the one with ADHD. And the baby finds the loudest thing he can do and scream-giggles while doing it. Wild.
For my own sanity, I am a hands-off parent. If they’re not hurting anyone nor destroying property, I let them play. Maybe it annoys people, I don’t care. I’m rarely out of the house, so people can deal.
So today of all days. When I barely slept, had to get three kids out in below freezing weather, and barely made it out the door is the day a bitch wants to try me.
Within five minutes of walking through the door, she is telling my kids to sit down and…
