If you fail well then you fail but not to us
Posted under: 1. Love your kids. Love them like you’ve never loved anyone else.
2. Respect your kids. Show them the same respect you expect them to show others. When important decisions are to be made don’t shut the door and do it yourself involve them. It makes them feel wanted and important and teaches them the value of making big decisions together.
3. Find out what it is your kids like, love, enjoy.. and participate. Know what music they are listening to and do stupid dances when their songs come on. Go to their activities at school and root for them no matter how good / bad they are; encourage them to try different things if they don’t like what they’ve picked.
I’m no expert but it seems to have really worked for me.
Maybe it didn’t turn out like I planned
I quit writing about a year ago when I just couldn’t take the ‘all heart break’ – all the time’ tone of the posts. I saw a page I liked a few weeks ago and revived this simply because I thought I could fill it with interesting content and still not have to tell you how I really feel. What I ended up with is nothing close to where I was planning to go.
I’ve imported this stuff from elsewhere so the content is sparse right now. As I get time to reformat posts and whatever and what have you, more will be included.
The url and stuff is from a song I really like by @thenadas: Life in a Bucket.
This page is constantly under construction, and especially now (November 2010). I’m getting there… we’ll see.
Where do I start… where do I begin?
In the typical absence of anything lucid or interesting to say I introduce you to my family: I’ve learned recently that the pipeline to all the good gossip in my family goes right through my 81 year old grandmother. My favorite parent is not related to me biologically or by marriage. I have a favorite sibling and a least favorite sibling. The least favorite sibling is very clear of her status. I’m more than a little surprised that each of my biological parents have made it to their current ages (56 & 57)… considering the excess of their younger years. Three of the men in my family have gotten married on their 21st birthdays. I learned a few months ago that everyone in my family thinks I’m the \”favorite\”. My real dad and all of his family favor my half brother and half sister to me and my full sister. My half brother and half sister were his step children for about 2 years more than 30 years ago. My generation is so far the only one in my family that doesn’t have a kid named David or William. I’ve never met another person with my mom’s first name but I’ve recently discovered a species of tree that shares it. I was named after an actress. My sister was named after everybody else. My mom’s first husband couldn’t read. Her second husband couldn’t be nice. Her third husband couldn’t stop drinking. She’s doing really well on her own but I don’t think she likes it very much.
