We Grownups Think We Know Everything

It’s amazing how we grownups think we know everything. We think we have all the answers for everyone in every situation.

Many fathers work tirelessly to provide for their families. Working outside the home as well as stay-at-home mothers often have to provide for their families as well. As a one-time single mother, I remember the stress of being the only provider as well as the need to recharge my own battery with finding who I was. It’s not easy being a grownup. Don’t think I’m coming down anyone. It’s a difficult position to be in, trying to find the balance between what is best and what is necessary.

But there’s a price to be paid for striving for wrong goals.

 

What do children think?

When you have a moment, do a search on Twitter or any social media platform for #Hatedivorce and see what comes up. My heart broke when I read all the posts from kids who wanted nothing more than a healthy home life.

It’s something to think about. You may think what you’re doing is the right thing for your family, but just listen to what the children want.

Their needs are simple.

Talk to your kids and ask them what they think. You may be surprised by their answers. I know it may be difficult but somehow do your best to work to make a living, Don’t work to destroy your life.

What say you?

What do you wonder about?  Are you happy … or are you doing what you never thought you’d do? Do you see consistencies … or are you all over the place? Drop me a line. I’d love to chat.
