We just got back from a 10 day holiday with another couple. Don't get me wrong - we had a great holiday, and they are lovely Christian people. I really tried to not focus on them always "bragging" obout their 2 children and grandchildren. She says they have never gone thru anything in their life with their kids---I guess they were sooooooooooo good......and now the grandkids are also "perfect" My hubby and I have 5 children and spouces and 6 grandkids between us. There is always something I could obcess about. But this time on holidays I just remained nice and quiet when all the bragging was going on. That is just not my personality to always "yapp" about the kids. There are of course lots of good things to go along with "worrisome" things----I just kept quiet and tried to work my program. MY serenity is so important....Do you think some people sail thru life with "no" difficulties with their children or family? Just a thought!
You asked "Do you think some people sail thru life with "no" difficulties with their children or family?"
I don't know anyone who has never had any difficulties with their children or family. Maybe some people just keep those difficulties hidden from the outside world? Just my opinion.
(((meagain))) Very good practice of the program. She is a lucky lady. If she was not wearing a pair of "Rose Colored Glasses" you might want to buy her a pair. (HUGS) RLC
Maybe she really has had no problems. Maybe she has had some, and is ashamed and bragging to put up a front. Maybe she has had problems, but choses to focus on the positive.
i don't know anyone who doesn't have problems. Some people are better at not broadcasting them. I am always somewhat skeptical of those who claim not to have any but I no longer probe.
