Does your mind boggle when you think about the mammoth task raising children is?
Many people seem to think they muddle their way through or follow some type of process. Most also find the need to adapt to the ever-changing needs of their child/ren.
I’d like to think that I’m ‘training’ my little fellas using many methods. I couldn’t write a book on it as no one would be able to follow it. All I know is that I use my heart. Yes, I have those moments where I go off my noodle or show less than the required enthusiasm as I drag my heels to 730pm. Those moments are far outweighed by my desire to show the kids that I mean business when it comes to loving them.
Recently my brain cells played boggle over Almost 6’s desire to play basketball, soccer and football all through the Winter months. I’ll share my thoughts when the game is finished.
What mind-boggling conundrums have you faced?
Live for love.

P.S I just noticed boggling rearranged is blogging. How pertinent.
It’s without a doubt the biggest responsibility one human being can have towards another one. I saw a quote the other day that said “How you talk to your children becomes their inner voice” – really made me stop and think about how they internalize everything that comes out of your mouth.
So much to always remember in the task of raising kids, it’s no wonder we parents make so many mistakes along the way!
All I can say is that the mind-boggling conundrums never cease. Never, ever, ever – which I suppose means that life will never be boring!
Never? Ever?
Oh well. Boring has never interested me anyway.
Nicely written! I just posted a ABC for Parenting to all those of us faced with this conundrum. Paraphrasing you: “How pertinent.”
Thank you but you’re way too kind. I’m dropping by to read yours which I am sure was way more in-depth than mine.
OOOOH, good…got it (looked it even before comment this morning :)…i know your blog and i enjoy it a lot …as many already do 🙂 🙂 🙂
All good. I look forward to reading each post you blog. 🙂
Thank you :).Same here :)..a little stuck this week finding words, but obsessing with painting 🙂
I wish I could paint. Words tumble out of me though. Normally too fast for my fingers to keep up. I try to paint a picture with my words, I suppose.
You do create colorful words truly beautifully 🙂
I am no painter or a critic. Your paintings leave me without words and that is why I hardly ever comment.
Well ,with this comment you gave me a real big smile …such a sweet and a lot said in it…Thank you so much !!! 🙂
Credit where credit’s due. 🙂
