100_7133I know my children have a difficult time dealing with two households and two sets of rules. It is an ugly side-effect of divorce, but one that many people deal with successfully. We try to keep the rules pretty standard between the two houses and encourage the kids to let us know how things work on the other side.  Our rules may be different when it comes to snack times and chores, but overall, I think we are making the best of a bad situation. These are the things that I want my children to learn from me, not only from my words but also from my actions.

Ten Things I want My Kids to Learn.



10.Marry the right person. Don’t settle, don’t lose yourself. Marry the right person and everything else will fall into place.

9. In everything, be playful.

8. Under-promise and over-deliver.

7. Love means respect. If someone does not respect you, they do not love you.

6. Think faster than you speak.

5. You will make mistakes. When you do, no matter what, admit it and fix it as soon as you can.

4. Money is not the root of all evil, the greed for money is.

3. When you talk with someone, look them in the eye and call them by their name.

2. Be flexible in everything, you will learn much more and grow much taller.

1. Everyone (and I do mean everyone) is fighting their own hard battle. Be kind to everyone.





What lasting lessons do you want to leave for your children?
