16 Letting children make mistakes. Telling the children that they're lucky to have a mother and father who pay close attention to them. That they will encounter many children their age who have few morals or little discipline because they are raised by part-time parents. And not giving up on knowing what the Lord's will is, even when it seems impossible to ever know. 19 Communication on a regular basis is essential to avoid misunderstanding.
Parents get into a habit of assuming what the other person thinks, and acting accordingly.
This always helps clear your mind and frustrations. We so easily slip into who has done what, and who is or isn't being appreciated and needs a break. Our goal is to take care of each other without keeping score. We are getting better, but the fight still comes up. Getting enough sleep.
