"If I told someone that
they were bad before but they are good now, would that be considered an
insult?"
"Depends on perspective!"
"What is your
perspective? I want to know what you think?"
"I think it is good. I
would take that as a compliment."
"In that case, I want
you to know that you got better at being a parent to a teenager in the last 3
years. You weren't so good before, but now you are quite good. You are getting
there!"
Now, should I still take that as a compliment?!
Note: As I finished typing the above statement, I got a call. The call
was from Hans’ pediatric dentist’s office reminding me that he is way overdue
for his regular checkup! It made me feel like a terrible mom.
It was a much needed reminder and a humbling moment for sure! There is
indeed no rest for the wicked!
