Once our kids are old enough to hit the ground walking and running, we parents are relegated to corralling and herding for the rest of our lives. charlestadros 3 years ago Charles Tadros, M.D. May 20, 2023 Saint Louis, Missouri Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook More Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Our children are “on loan” to us parents (and to other adults) so that we can teach, protect, and provide for them until they’re able to take over these responsibilities.DateMay 20, 2023In relation toadultsSOMETIMES IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES OF REFLECTION IN ORDER TO SEE THE “STUCKEDNESS” IN THINKING, BEHAVIORS, AND ROUTINES. FOR INSTANCE, I DO NOT MIND COLLECTING MY FAMILY’S LAUNDRY, WALKING IT DOWN THE STAIRS, SEPARATING OUT THE DIFFERENT COLORS AND FABRICS, WASHING THE LOADS, MOVING THEM TO THE DRYER, PULLING OUT THE LOADS, FOLDING THEM AND TAKING THE CLEAN AND FOLDED ITEMS BACK UPSTAIRS. WHAT I DESPISE, AND I AM NOT PROFICIENT AT, IS THAT I DO NOT DO A GOOD JOB PUTTING AWAY ANYONE ELSE’S CLOTHES. BECAUSE OF MY DEFICIENCY IN THIS FINAL STEP, I WILL NOT EVEN START THE FIRST STEP OF THE PROCESS. NOW, THAT’S NUTTY.DateJune 18, 2022In relation tolaundryTOO MANY OF US WALK THROUGH OUR LIVES SO DISTRACTED AND EXHAUSTED THAT WE THINK THAT WE ARE TOO BUSY, WE SAY THAT WE ARE TOO BUSY, AND WE APPEAR TOO BUSY. WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING IS THAT OUR BRAINS ARE PEDDLING FAST (procrastination, regrets, worries, anxieties, shame, fear, anger, grudges) BUT WE/OUR LIVES ARE NOT MOVING. WE ARE PERPETUALLY EXHAUSTED, AND STUCK…NOT NOTICING THE PATTERNS OF OUR LIVES, THE OPPORTUNITIES IN OUR LIVES, AND THE LOVED ONES WITHIN OUR IN LIVES.DateNovember 3, 2021In relation todistraction
