The more expectations you have, the more disappointed you will feel. If your only expectation of your son is for him to be him, you will be pleasantly surprised every time he does exactly what he does.

That’s it. When you expect people to be anything besides what they are, you can expect frustration and irritation. Only every single time!

Try it today. Notice every time you are feeling annoyed at one of your kids- or your husband! What thought caused that annoyance? I’m sure in included the troublesome world “should". He should not have done that, he should have done that. He should have listened to me. and on and on. The shoulds will cause you insta irritation every time.

You know he’s going to do that thing that he does. He always does. Expect it. Stop banging your own head against the wall. You know he is going to do it. So anticipate that he will cause he will! Then you can plan ahead how you want to react. What you have control over. Your own thoughts and feelings about what he will inevitably do.

Sounds simple. It kinda is. But it will change everything for you. You’re welcome!
