Maybe I live in a sheltered world or a cave or maybe my mom just did not show me enough love as a child but why can’t adults just get along or at least agree to disagree and simply go their separate ways.
After many failed attempts and several years later I am trying to incorporate into my way of thinking the following both as a coach and into my daily walk: When a problem arises between folks that have the same goal, purpose or desired outcome in mind, my experiences (both good and bad) to simply put it tell me that finding a solution should be well within reach. My experiences have also proven time and time again that when the opposite is true, that being goals, purpose and desired outcomes are different it matters not what is said or done….it just will not come to an equitable solution. SO, I now approach each situation with the above in mind. I know that if we are both wanting or in search of the same thing but find ourselves at a cross road WE WILL find a solution because that’s what WE want, BUT when the two sides have their own agenda and those agendas differ then all that will transpire is a lot of wasted time and words falling on deaf ears. This leads to the conclusion or now where I start: We have 2 choices, if we want too we will make it work because we are adults or its time for you to take your DD and go your separate way!
BOTTOM LINE:
Those who are "Team Parents" persevere and those "Individual Parents" WILL be looking for another team!
