My 6 year old brother was ring bearer at our neighbors wedding the little girl next door was flower girl. They looked like a mini Bride and Groom. My father teased my brother and told him he was married and now what would he do to provide for his new wife. The poor little boy was horrified. He quickly grabbed up the Sears catalogue and began cutting out all the items he would need, furniture, washer, dryer, fridge and pasted the pictures onto paper. His plan was in the making and this is the beginning of a life full of stressful things we must endure.
My young son just learning how to button his shirt one day made a mistake and has the buttons wrong, leaving the bottom button with no hole. I pointed out the mistake and he looked down and saw the messed up button job but instead of noticing it was his mistake he was angry at the factory for making it that way.
We think young children should have no stress, but believe me the things that stress them are real as real can be, it may seem trivial to you but to them it is the same as what an adult might be stressed about such as paying bills or illness or death.
It takes time to deal with our problems and sometimes problems never get dealt with.
We all have our faults, no one is perfect,and maybe the *I am right* isn't the way to deal with ideas and thoughts that we don't agree with.
The know it all expert has a hard time considering your ideas, different Personality Types in a sense compliment each other. Keep this in mind when next time you have a disagreement with a loved one, make a plan and work it out, this is possible. The problem with not getting along is it causes you stress that really isn't necessary.
Bitter siblings that I spent the day with yesterday is what makes me think of life as a platter of mixed up emotions that most of us have a very hard time dealing with. I wish you strength to get you all through this difficult time in your lives.
Your Mother is watching you.
