Learn How to Say No to Say Yes to a Much Improved Life The act of refusing something is one that frequently puts people in an awkward position. You should make it a priority to assist as many of your close friends, members of your family, and coworkers as you can.

Fuck - our parents are getting older!
When I watched the final season of "Grace and Frankie" the other day, it struck me again: we're all going to die. The big spoiler of life. Before we die, we'll get even older. And before we get older, so will our parents. This is very creepy. Just as shocking and just as obvious as the realization that Mom and Dad must have had sex. You can smile away that over time, dementia and heart attack not really.

Stay at Home or Working Parent
As a single parent, I have had the opportunity to be both, a working mom and a stay-at-home mom. While some have never been granted the chance to choose, both roles are extremely important for the growth of both yourself and your children. As a working parent, you have an important role in making the money and ensuring that there is a roof over your head at all times. You wake up every morning and rush through your routine of getting dressed, brushing your teeth, and barely having enough time to grab a to-go cup of coffee. You shout at your kids to hurry out the door and all pile into your low-on-gas car for school drop-off. Your job isn’t just getting up and going to work but making sure everyone is up and out the door on time and in one piece. Time is of the essence and isn’t as easy as it sounds. Kids have their own clocks that have nothing to do with actual time. They are up when you wake them but can’t find one shoe. They are completely dressed but forgot to brush their teeth. When you almost reach their school for drop-off, they remember they left their homework at home but can’t remember where. As a working parent, you continuously have two jobs at all times. You sometimes find yourself staring at the moms or dads that are the easy-going, down-to-earth, stay-at-home parents. You sit in your car as your kids jump out of your vehicle and say bye to you. You commend all the other parents as they say goodbye to their kids without an ounce of rush in their steps. You think of how easy it is being able to go home and relax after drop-off. You desire that things could be as easy as that for you as well. You admire and even envy them for the life you wish you had.

The man who pissed off his wife: is a full-time mother supposed to be humble?
The quality of a marriage cannot be measured in material terms and has little to do with love. Whether a woman is truly happy after marriage is difficult to see before marriage or at the beginning of marriage, and only after going through the nitty-gritty of food and salt can you feel happy or not.
