SuperParent Syndrome's podcast

Parenting is not for the weak. Cooking, cleaning, bath time, work, driving the kids to practice, church, working out, all while keeping your sanity is no small feat. Because maybe it seems you’re caught in a juggling act, but you’re doing your best. This exists to help you thrive instead of just surviving.

God Bless my wife, she said this to me while we were doing demolition on our basement.  What I wanted to say to this and what I did say to this was totally different.  Because really... I was confused about why she would even say this to me.

So this past weekend, we decided to rip out a kitchenette in our basement to make way for a family room.  During this time, she thought I was angry and having a terrible time.  She thought this because I was tearing things out and throwing scraps in a pile.  For me, I thought this was perfectly normal and I was having a great time.  For her, she thought I was mad and throwing a tantrum.

Again, if we had only taken a moment to create clarity then we would have not operated out of a place of conflict and hurt feelings.

She was hurt because she thought I didn't want to do this project.  I was upset because I apparently wasn't doing this project "right".  I was irritated because she was trying to make me to a project differently that what I had envisioned.  The problem is that we took way too long to just stop what we were doing and explain the process and expectation.

Imagine what could be possible is we just took a moment to explain our expectation and process to our kids when we ask them for help or to do something.  How about our team or spouse, or even ourselves.

It's not enough to declare a goal to ourselves without truly having clarity about it.

The Notebook is one of THE top romance movies of all time.  Guaranteed to create tears and vanishing ice cream pints.  Now guys, if you love your lady you will watch this with her.  I'm not trying to guilt you but this is one of THOSE movies that has to be watched.

Ladies, don't abuse this.  In fact, enjoy some solo nights here as well.

But I digress.  The whole point of this post is that "Duke" did not read this journal where it entailed stories about their kids.  In fact, there were no stories about diapers, puke, and school projects/concerts.  That is the opposite of romantic.  And yet, it probably feels as if that is all that remains in your marriage sometimes.  What I am saying is watch this movie and focus on what made you both CRAZY in love kids.  Remember the little things you would do for each other that made each other laugh or even smile. 

Go big or go home.  Listen in for more details and please if you like this podcast leave a review or share with a friend.  Thanks!
