How to Diaries: LEARN TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR POTENTIAL: How to Get Grandparents to Follow Your Rules

How to Diaries: LEARN TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOUR POTENTIAL Journey Towards Being Who You Were Meant to Be “TRUE POTENTIAL SERIES” Hi Warrior Chic’s! Today, I'm starting a journal series for a contract position I have with the local school and technical college here in Montgomery Alabama were I am currently living completing my internship for my doctoral degree in Christian Counseling (these are questions some of the youth students and young adults asked in sessions so instead of repeating myself I’m posting all the research and answers here on lonerwife for them to refer back to). For the next 90 days I will be answering their questions through these post. I’m loving counseling these students. Many are stuck in what vocation to choose. While others are already experience technical college. To me, doing this work feels like a dream come true. And also like I’m coming full circle as I too was once lost in seeking my own purpose. At times being a trucker wife, work from home mom, Master Level Individual and Family Counselor, Vocational, Marriage and Family Counselor and Intuitive Spiritual Counselor requires a lot of multi tasking and balancing this is my way of doing it…through the platform I’m currently using. Although these how to articles isn’t for the lonerwife tribe if you enjoyed them feel free to leave your on story or comment if what I post during the “True Potential Series”resonate with your soul I’m sure the students would love any advice you feel to share.
By niknik2008, eHow Member Do you hate it when you constantly ask your mother not to give your kids to many sweets, money or to not stay up late on a school night and please make the kids clean up their own toys. Only for them to smile and say okay but have no intention of obeying your request. When you are confronting your parents about any situation with your child, try not to sound like you are telling them what to do. This is one reason why they ignore you. Rethink your words. Example: Instead of saying I want you to make sure Tony picks up all of his toys. Try saying guess what mom I notice Tony likes to pick up his toys after he plays, see if he does the same at your house. Instead of saying: Tony bedtime is at 8pm don't forget like last time. Try saying: mom if Tony doesn't get enough sleep he will be cranky and hard to deal with in the morning. Act more concern as if you were just updating her on how much her grandchild is growing up and becoming more independent. This way you are not sounding bossy. She doesn't feel like you are throwing a list of rules at her. This will help your parents follow some of your rules without realizing they are doing so. Relax, most grandparents are happy to spend time with their grand kids they love to spoil them. Don't mess that up with a list of demands that might push them away. Always remember everyone is different so they might or might not agree with your list of expectations. Just be happy your parents are alive so that your kids can have memories of the times spent with them so what if they give them money or let them wear eyeshadow to school.

The Lonely Life Of a Trucker's Wife

People don’t have a clue about being a wife of a trucker. They look at you like you got it made. “As if!” Being a trucker’s wife is a hard job.  Being a trucker’s wife and a mother on top of that is even harder. Not only do the wife have to muli-task, housework, laundry, run errands, pay the bills, when and if she receives a check from her husband. But, she also has the task of caring for the needs of their children school work, cooking, after school activities. In if she has an outside job Lord help her. A trucker wife has to manage and balance the income while her husband is away. She has to do the oil changes on the cars, any repairs that need to be meet, and let’s not forget about that forest that grows in the front yard yes, “mow the lawn.” She has to be a mom and dad to the children, along with running her husband errands. A trucker wife has to make sure things run as smooth as possible while her better half is on the road. A trucker’s wife dream of a fairy tale m...
