Role models...part 1

Our children are wiser than we, because they don't have the weight of supposed obligations or perceived loyalty to bear. 


Everything we do, teaches our children a lesson. We either teach a positive or a negative. 

Sometimes, as adults, we hold onto friendships that aren't really mutually beneficial any more, because we don't want to lose a longtime friend or because we feel we owe that person somehow.

I'm here to say that our kids see that. They see that one person sets the terms from the friendship and the other person either allows it or suffers for it, because their needs aren't being fulfilled. 

They see that other person, and ourselves, through a different set of lenses. 

What are your kids seeing when they look at you?
