Avoid long lectures..

Not a few minutes into the new year and I already have an opportunity to start my new year resolution. My first challenge to my son to improve our relationship in 2019. His number one complaint is that I lecture too much and I repeat myself. Instead of getting mad, I acknowledged that this is probably true. I have diarrhea of the mouth when it comes to my son’s areas of improvement. Then I raised the stakes. I offered that if he wrote down the various main points of my lectures he can point at them and I would stop if I agree with the assertion.

Let’s see if he takes the offer. :)
