Yesterday Noah was kind of annoyed because he was trying to talk to me and both kids were trying to talk to him at the same time. He expressed some frustration.
I said, “Do you understand why I don’t try to force them to wait their turn?”
He said, “No, I don’t. Why?”
“Have you ever noticed how the people at work who “wait for their turn” just never speak? I want our children to grow up into the kind of adults who are pushy and bossy and who think their ideas are worth pursuing. You can’t get that way after a lifetime of being told to shut up and wait your turn.”
“Oh. That’s a good reason.”
“I think so.”
Hi. I miss you. Alot has changed for me. I am assuming you deleted your FB account. Just wanted to say eh and let you know I was thinking about you. <3
Thanks! I did delete FB. It was causing me stress I don’t need to feel. What have you been up to lately?
Divorced, recently remarried. two new step children. Ex is a major asshat of epic proportions. Abusive and even violent at times. New husband is the epitome of poise, compassion, patience and loyalty. Life has a way of balancing itself out, I suppose.
Im glad I found this. Ive been catching up with you today, and Ive found it very comforting.
I think about missing the support group I had at MDC a lot but I’m a lot better off not obsessively checking that forum. The Stalin-esque environment just didn’t work for me.
I’m really sorry your ex-husband is behaving that way. I’m glad that you have someone around who is helping you manage it.
How is it going with the step-kids? That’s a life hurdle I think I would be terrible at handling and I deeply admire people who can do it.
I hope I get to talk to you again soon. 🙂
