A New Day

So this weekend's dares were to call to ask how he was doing (Sat.) and to have him tell me three things that irritate him about me(Sun.) This was not too bad. I have gotten a lot better at taking criticism. This was his list:

• Asking where he is going or doing when he gets up. This is when we are sitting around at home and he could be just going to use the restroom.
  
• Asking him questions like, "What are three things that irritate you about me?". He said that questions that make him think. I know that I like to know what is going on in there and how I am doing. Call it quality control.
• When he is trying to discipline the children and I am giggling at how cute or funny what they did was. I know that I am not the only parent in the world who struggles with discipline when your child does something inappropriate albeit, but cute.

My husband wanted to know why I was asking. I told him I was just curious. I didn't want to tell him I was doing the dare. I thought it might compromise the validity of what I was doing. I really have no idea if that is true. Overall it was a very nice weekend with only a few negative comments had. I need to keep working on that.
