Re: Be The Cool Parent, But Don’t Believe The Lie

Corey — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 10:26:51 -0000

I guess my thought is this ... I get that legally I play a role in things my child may do as a minor, but even if they did do something heinous that results in them going to jail, they still go - I don't. And if they don't do work in school or turn things in on time and are held back, they are the ones who repeat the grade. The main idea I believe in for life, parenting, and marriage is I need to focus on what I'm 100% responsible for, which starts and ends with me. The rest of it I can influence, guide, etc. but I can't control and to try and do so is a chasing after the wind.

I love the walk around barefoot in nature idea!

I also notice the tops of the trees as they sway in the breeze (Phenomenon movie reference). Helps find your pace.

Absolutely I wish there were times I could simply flash something to turn on my wife. Problem is, I'd be flashing all the time :)

This is interesting Gina-

I've heard of the body's pressure points and how they are tied to the various aspects of our mood, emotions, and life - but I've yet to come across someone who's used them this way! Great idea, especially if it works. I hope this spreads like wildfire for others.

And thanks for being personal about a subject not talked about near enough.

The idea of living for something bigger than ourselves is a great perspective adjustment for me. It has helped me see the world around me in a better light.

That's a great way to phrase it Kip - "a way to voice hurt without hurting back." Thanks.

Great idea James. It is so true that things are and get better in community.

I just joined the group as well. Perhaps we should collaborate some on this?

Life is so much better when it's lived - no longer watching others live, but living yourself!

Or as Hayden as so aptly put it- life is too short to watch other people dance.

It's tough to imagine other people watching my life and being excited to watch the story unfold. This motivates me to write a better story.

Thanks Susan.

I think everyone should read this book Stu.

Thanks Hayden. My wife and I have actually begun saying the word "Conflict" in a lighthearted way whenever there is an opportunity for us to move into it.

While driving to visit family on snow and ice covered roads, my wife suggested an alternate route which of course I knew was wrong :), so right after I pointed out my idea, I hear "Conflict" from the passenger seat, we laugh, then objectively talked through both options. Turns out, she was right.

Is sounds like your experience answers your question - letting go is not a bad thing.

The belief is this, whatever you're 100% responsible for in marriage, you're 100% responsible for it. If you're not 100% responsible for it, then you're not at all responsible for it.

You can only control you, so focus on that.

Absolutely this book and discussion would be appropriate for engaged couples. Hope you'll join us.

Hey Ohio-

Thanks for jumping in the conversation. It's probably best if I let my wife Pam take care of this reply. I'll ask her to jump on later this evening.

Working through the difficulties of marriage is worth it. And you're right that's it's good to know that we're not alone in the struggles of life.

I am grateful every day for God's grace and love - and for the love of my wife. Hard times help with perspective.
