Piece of advice!

What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

No one likes getting advice. In fact when we ask someone for advice, it is more likely we have already made up our minds and just going to that person to get an affirmation for the same 😃🤷‍♀️!

I advise my husband a lot and he does that to me too! I don’t think we ever listen to each other! We can just say that is marriage! A fact, I am also younger to him! Good luck giving advice to some young person who are know by Gen Z, alpha and beta. Being an X even the millineals are not going to listen to me!

Meanwhile, I am trying to fix my kid who has severe OCD! He had to remove the plastic wrapper around the Gatorade bottle! Today, it was giving him such a hard time! I needed to help him out and we both successfully accomplished the same! I can’t advise him at that point, and not make him do it! I just went alomg with him!

So, it people come to me for my advice, I will happily give them whatever they want!

It is so hard to remove the wrapper around the bottle, but my son gets it done every time! 😀

  1. Thank you for sharing this so honestly—and with such wonderful humor! 😃 I had to smile at the “we never listen to each other… that is marriage!” part. 🤷‍♀️❤️

    I especially loved what you shared about your son. Sometimes advice is not what someone needs at all. They simply need us to stand beside them, stay patient, and help them take that difficult step. You didn’t try to “fix” the moment—you went through it with him, and together you accomplished something that was genuinely hard for him. That is a beautiful form of support.

    1. Thanks for the lovely comment. 🙏
