eggshells all the way down

I think the biggest thing that I try to do with my kiddos around this topic is emotional predictably. I think as others have stated learning abilities to deal with other people's emotions a good ability to have.

My parents were never consistent with their emotions and I am not talking between the two I am talking about them as individuals.. I could get yelled at by my Dad about the same thing twice and the reactions be completely different.

If I am having a bad day and do fly off the handle a bit more than normal I make sure to apologize to my kiddos and explain to them why I reacted the way I did. Now I'm trying to get my babies mama on board.

I think a lot of parents out there forget that thier kids are people too.

This is typically someone who installed LED lights in a car that was designed for incandescent most DRLs run at a lower voltage than when the actual headlights are turned on. So when you run lower voltage to run those daytime running lights when using an LED bulb instead of filament that wasn't meant to be dimmable they Flickr or flash.

Say what you want this is is an interesting thought, although the polar bear would most likely win because of its sheer mass. The gorilla has a lot going for it. A silverback can get to almost half that weight and has a greater bite force, intelligence, agility, and reach. They can also throw punches of up to 2300 lbs of force, which could easily break a bone or skull.

Who's really running Spacex, Tesla, and Twitter? You know, someone who actually keeps the lights on.

In the same exact boat except Worked for a small company with a private owner and I took a jump to a giant corp (for the money) and absolutely hated every second of my life while I was there. Went out for a beer with my old boss, (the owner) a few months in and told him my current stateof mind. I didn't ask or discuss coming back but the next day he sent me a new job offer with things more catered to my own personal goals and a bit of a pay bump.

I returned, It was never awkward I really enjoy going to work. I feel valued and when I left it made both the owner and I realize how much we benefit each other. I don't have to take work home with me or ever stress about it. He's super flexible with time off and if something comes up with my kids.

This allows me to persue things that interest me. I've learned c+ c# and some angular and made a crappy indie game. Ive learned the piano, guitar and how to sing. I'm starting a cover band with friends and none of this would have been possible because I would have been mentally and physically drained at the other place.

That value alone is hard to put a price on I just didn't know until I hopped ship.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you but the joke is around a song korn has called chutes and ladders, where they name off a bunch of lullaby’s.
