You believe that people should sleep in the beds they make. Yet given someone’s sloppy performance you may want to lend a hand with the hospital corners.
People say they want something new but what they really want is something different. Why reinvent the wheel when you can repurpose it?
It suddenly dawns on you that you mistook what was being said. Be upfront and ask if you can begin this conversation again.
At first you’ll resent being saddled with a loved one’s obligations, but what starts out as a chore could turn into a deeply bonding experience.
It’s not good when you correct loved ones on how they should be talking to you. They have something to say and you need to listen to it.
Don’t speak out of turn. It’s hard for a loved one or friend to be this candid and you need to let her say what she needs to say.
