Think about something that drives you crazy.
Now, think about something that makes you happy.
Does it change your perspective on the former?
Something that drives me crazy is when my children ask questions and then don't bother to listen to the answer that I give them so they have to ask the question again.
Something that makes me happy is being able to have conversations with my children in the van. We have had many bonding moments in the van, and I, sometimes, think of it as the former dinner table. The other time that I get information from my children is right before bed while I am reading a bedtime story. Even though my son just listen and reads his own things from his bed, I still sometimes get information from him if it is really bothering him during this time.
It does change my perspective. I realize how much I enjoy talking to them and communicating with them. One day, they will be independent and not ask me questions anymore because they will "know it all"! I better appreciate the conversation while I can get it!
