I love this! I know who each of those responses belongs to, and it kind of makes me giggle. I do need to remember the individualism of each person and appreciate it more. Why can’t the world just think like me?

Wonderful written! I’m from a military family too and I really relate to this piece.

Jessica – I’m guessing the first child with the immaculate room was you.

I was the child that was distracted and played with the toy. Which made learning to clean such a hard process when I got older.

I see the same pattern in people to. Some days I carefully select my words and some days I get tired of it. When I watch my communication, my day goes smoothly. When I don’t, I always have to redo the conversation.

Love this post. For me, I find that the way I deal with and communicate with people is directly related to the way I was brought up. I was constantly trying to please them and I’m still trying to learn that the people I come into contact with every day are NOT my parents. Not everyone around me is going to respond exactly as they did. It’s a work in progress! Thanks for a great post and have a wonderful day!

Blessings,
Kathleen

I am quite often surprised to see the reactions of others to something said or heard. If I am dealing with someone whose reactions I can’t predict, I try to gauge their reaction as I am speaking so that I can adjust my approach if need be.
