Mothering #3

I've got to go to work tonight.  I just got through spending Easter service with my family.  I hope you have a blessed Easter.

Here is another Well Being word:

AGREE:

Move to the place where everyone can say yes.  Agree on the concept if not the details.  Agree that a new bike is a good idea, but not this bike at this store, and not today.  Agree to pick out the right bike tomorrow.  She wants television; you want a nap.  Agree on a quite reading.  You want pizza.  He’s set on Chinese.  Agree to do chicken instead.  Agree that the homework is a bit unreasonable, and ask him to agree that it still must be done.  Agree to organize the school fund-raiser as long as they agree to try something radically new.  Agree that you might have handled things with a bit more finesse.  Will she agree that she jumped in too fast?  Agree that it’s time to redecorate the family room.  Will they agree to get rid of that horrible old sofa?  Agree that your ways of looking at the world are miles apart, and agree to honor those differences.  When you come to a standstill, agree to disagree.  When everyone agrees that the subject is closed, you can all agree on a movie.
