more turtles by my side...

it's odd how so many of our conversations in the last couple of months have gone like that -direct analogies of our sitch. and him criticizing something like this in the same way. very strange...

Hey Zig, very true statement. I've noticed that with my W as well. She's known for her mini-lectures to the kids which can be sparked by almost anything. Its kind of a family joke with us. Typically is a learning opportunity that my W will snatch onto and talk to the kids. Anyway...last night was another example of a mini-lecture to my son (who at 13, almost 14 isn't too found of). It was interesting to me to hear her words and know how they did not match her actions in regard to our M.

So here's the perspective challenge...In situations like this is it better to get frustrated because they don't apply the lessons to themselves or be thankful that the logic is still there in their heads and there may still be hope that the light turns on for them if the fuel is still present?

Glad you enjoyed your time with the in-laws!
