Daughter-in-law… you’ve heard that old saying… ‘you can choose your friends, you can’t choose your family’ and it’s never applied better than with the wife of your son, the mother of his grandchildren, that’s a shame , there have been times when you wish you had chosen ‘the girl’, however, your son found her, fell in love with her and married her, because he could!

You’ve heard of or known about those daughters-in-law from hell ~ the too-young, snooty, mean, relentless, horrible, selfish little buggers who somehow managed to hold on to the people you love the most, your kids.

Too often you give and give and they never seem to be glad that they received and received and they turn all your good intentions into acts of ugliness for whatever reason.

The thing that always comes to mind when I hear about these selfish little jerks is how the hell he chose her in the first place. You thought you raised him with sharper ‘picking the right girl’ skills, we all knew that.

If you are one of those very unfortunate mothers who has inherited ‘the wrong daughter-in-law’, keep in mind that it is not your fault, it is not you who has to live with her (thank God), and try to take into account ‘what he goes, he comes back’, for his own peace of mind.

Try to keep an open line of communication between you and your child, always try to keep in touch with your grandchildren, they are the ones who will lose the most when they can’t see the grandparents who love them, and pray that one day the daughter-in-law will grow up and he will come to see the folly of his ways. Don’t hold your breath…

Perhaps the most important person to work with here is your son – he’s not going to choose sides and leave his wife (yet) just because he wishes he would or could. Knowing him that you are there is perhaps the most important thing he needs to know.

Life choices and experience will usually win the day. If you’ve always been close to her child and soon find out that ‘the wife’ has made you lose all contact with her family members and is buried under hers, you’ll eventually wonder, ‘what the hell happened? ? ‘ In the event that the situation is serious – with total alienation and little or no contact – you could talk to a family therapist about an intervention with the families, yours and hers. Especially if there are grandchildren who are prevented from meeting you – the intervention allows for a safe place to talk calmly about real issues, your insecurities, your inability to control who your children can see and when.

If an intervention is totally out of the question, you may need to give your child time to accept the ugliness of their choices and move on with their life, if they refused and you’ve been trying and trying to maintain a brave, cry from again and move on… if you have helped them financially in the past, STOP… don’t contact them or try to stay connected at this time.

Serious marital discords usually lead to serious problems down the road – when that happens, your child will have nowhere to turn when the proverbial ‘sh__ hits the fan’ and it will, if it’s worth anything, it always will, although it could take years. Often too much is going on: your child is being pulled in too many directions, and at best his judgments are cloudy and confused.

A suggestion for in the meantime would be to keep a scrapbook with entries of his sense of loss and frustration with his situation, write a monthly entry expressing your love and prayers for a future relationship with him and his children (with or without his wife). Insert photos chronicling family events of him enjoying time with relatives and siblings that will be heartwarming when he comes to.

Once you have done everything in your power to have a peaceful and loving relationship with your daughter-in-law, back off, let your son come to you, he will if you were close before she came. Forgive her in your heart and pray for your son and grandchildren.

Time is running out. It’s probably too late to make it in time for Christmas if you order gifts online now. Or is that it?

You can still make it on time if you choose a faster shipping method, such as 2-day shipping or overnight shipping, depending on how much time you have left. That will mean spending more on shipping, but it’s worth it if you hate pushing crowds at the mall and buying all your stuff in one store and getting your items delivered to your home, office, or wherever you’d be at Christmas.

Alternatively, you could make your own Christmas presents. I did it when I was desperate. A glass bowl, sand, pebbles, florist’s foam and dried flowers can become an indoor garden that never withers. It would make a great gift for anyone other than children. For kids, I suggest you check out these last-minute Christmas gift ideas for kids. [http://www.womanht.com/Last-minute-christmas-gifts-for-kids.htm] instead.

Let’s go back to the homemade gift. Take a clean and dry glass container. The most beautiful thing you can find. Glue florist’s foam for dried flower arrangements to the inside of the bowl’s base. Sand over the foam to completely cover it.

Glue the dried flowers through the sand onto the foam, grouping them by color, leaving space between the flower groups for the pebbles. Think of a real garden. The flower beds are separated by paths or lawns. You can dye the sand green and use it to simulate grass and use pebbles to create the paths.

Make your garden in a bowl look like a real garden. Clustered flowers, pebble paths, the works. You could put a bigger rock to simulate a boulder. The bigger the bowl, the more area you will have to play.

You could even put a mirror to simulate a lake. Use pebbles to cover the sand. That is all. How good it looks depends on your skill. If you don’t like your first try, you can always try again until you like the end result.

“Life is a bold adventure or nothing. Safety does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men generally experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposing yourself.” Helen Keller.

I’ve always loved this quote, well to be honest I’ve always loved the first part. I have never seen it complete and when you do it makes it even more powerful. He came to me at the end of my meditation and somehow resonated deeply. What he also resonated was that it is my choice. Am I going to continue choosing the daring adventure? Are you?

The past year has been a roller coaster year for many people and many have found it fraught with challenges. Maybe it’s the same for you. At such times it’s tempting to crawl under the covers and feel a bit ‘poor me’. However, it is not only the time to move on, but it is also the time to step back in the middle of the river instead of clinging to the sides. To choose the daring adventure.

I was recently talking to someone who told me that he was moving from where he had lived for a long time. I asked “where are you going?” and she replied “no idea, but something will come up and I’m open to what comes.” Now that is life as a daring adventure. Are you living your life as a daring adventure? It can be so easy to fall into the “I’ve tried everything and nothing can change” trap, when you start to believe that, you stop being open to adventure.

As you move toward identifying what you want in your life, it’s good to have plans, goals, and milestones along the way. We need them to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. However, if we focus too much on a plan, we stop being aware of what is happening around us. And we start to believe that there is only one way to climb a mountain.

The problem is that when we can only see one way to get to the top of the mountain, we focus on the tunnel, believing that there is only one way to get there. Instead of the daring adventure, the world gets smaller and smaller. Nice and safe, no surprises, but no change in sight. And, as you know if you know anything about NLP and how the mind works, once we focus on just one thing, our unconscious mind can act like a search engine to find us the exact match. Fantastic if you’re focused on the right thing – fatal if you’ve forgotten to be open to this or something better.

It’s great to write your passions on a card, but the most important thing is to write ‘this or something better’. That is the daring adventure. That’s being open to what’s coming. Yes, focus on what you want, yes, focus on your passions, yes, set goals. and markers and things to accomplish and yes, take action to make it happen. They are all important. And leave the door open so that what you want comes in a different way.

Time and time again I have seen this happen with clients when they are identifying what will fill them up. Once they’ve seen the essence of what would make them happy, it has appeared, but not in the way they would have thought when we started working together.

So my challenge to you is to look and see where you are limiting your life. Where are you limiting yourself in relation to seeing the life you really want? Where are you not living life as a daring adventure? Where you don’t see the opportunity because it doesn’t look exactly the way you think it should? What can you let go of to create the space where you really want to flow? If you really want a life that feels like that daring adventure, get rid of the limitations, look at the big picture. Your heart will lead you on this adventure; it will ‘feel good’. Once you have that feeling, even if you have no idea how you’re going to make it happen, commit to doing everything you can so that you, too, can live the bold adventure, your bold adventure.

Resistance to potty training or using the toilet is a problem that most parents encounter in their child’s development. Here are some hints and tips to help take the stress out of potty training your child.

1. Make sure the child is ready to start using the potty. It’s always a good idea to start as early as possible, but keep in mind that while some children will be ready at around 18 months, your child may not be ready for another year or so.

2. Make sure you’re up for the challenge. Although this can (and should) be a joyful and memorable moment, most children will, at one point or another, reject the concept and present you with an opportunity, as a parent, to demonstrate your love and patience.

3. Understand that the changes will affect your child. When you take a new job, are expecting another baby, move to a new home, or anything that changes your child’s routine, it can confuse your child and present new problems.

4. Boys are different from girls. Obviously, you could say, but you have to remember that the methods for training boys and girls have some important differences. Probably the most important thing is to make sure girls learn to wipe from front to back early on. Children should learn good manners, such as aiming and keeping the toilet seat down.

5. Accidents happen. Once again, I apologize for the obviousness, but sometimes we forget that all this is new for the child and that sometimes they are forced to break the routine. Be patient and never scold the child. Correct them in a gentle but firm voice and be encouraging and understanding.

I had read the book ‘I know why the caged bird sings’. It was hard to read because child abuse is so sad. When I saw the follow-up book ‘Mom, Me and Mom’, she intrigued me. I wanted to see how Maya Angelou’s life turned out as an adult.

I loved reading this book. Maya Angelou is a strong woman of character, but so was her mother. Although not perfect, she was redeemed in her own way. Maya’s mother explained to her children that when she was little, she and her father would not have been good parents and chose to let her mother raise them because she would take good care of them. The times that Maya’s parents tried to take over only confirmed the fact.

Maya’s mother came to be called Lady B. What she could not give her daughter as a child, she made up for as an adult and they grew to love each other very much. Maya’s brother was noted for bouncing back from his childhood disappointments and struggled with heroin. However, Maya blossomed into adulthood.

Maya’s early adult life mirrored her childhood struggle, but over time, with her mother’s support, she found her own way. Romantic relationships didn’t work out for Maya or her mother. Little by little, each woman found interests and talents that they were good at in life and began to take a different path to better themselves.

Lady B tried her hand at various careers and became involved with ladies’ charitable groups. After her death, a park is named after her. What a beautiful way to leave this life.

Maya didn’t start her adult life as a star. She had very hard moments. Before being discovered, she at one point took a job at a strip club because she needed to support her young son. Once she began to explore her talents, she even had to fight for respect while she was directing her first film. She called her mother for support. Once her mother joined her on set, everything was fine.

Maya never went to college, and yet she became a college professor. Not just honorary, but really teaching. She became a woman loved by the world. Both she and her mother were simple girls with difficult beginnings who knew how to mend her relationship and each of her left her mark on this world.

If you’ve ever thought your life didn’t matter, let this story encourage you to think that you can make a difference.

I see the new lures and the advertising for new equipment, and I need to get some. Looking at all the new fishing lures and equipment, I have to get it. Despite the fact that I bought several things last year, I have never used them. If you’re a Bass angler, you know exactly what I mean.

The beginning of the Bassin season may be the best time of the year to catch large bass. They have eaten little during the winter because the cold water slows down their metabolism and now that the water is getting warmer; they are hungry and ready to eat.

The biggest bass I’ve ever caught was on an opening day of the season, in about 6 feet of water, near flooded trees. I was using an original black and gold Rapala that writhed on the surface near the trees. I tossed it and let it rest near a tree. I saw the wake coming through the water from about 10 feet away. He hit so hard that his entire body came out of the water. Six pounds 4 ounces. It was incredible

Preparing to spawn.

1. Many baits work well early in the season because most bass will stay in shallow water most of the day where the water is warmer. The fish are looking for a place to lay eggs, or have laid eggs and are protecting them. Even after spawning, when they are guarding the fry, they will be close to their chosen bed. They can be aggressive, or they may not move even if you hit them with the lure, I have seen both reactions. It can be very frustrating when you see the fish and you put the lure in front of their face and they don’t move.
2. The warmest water will be at the north end of the lake in the spring. The sun is still low in the sky to the south, so the far north will get sun much longer during the day. The sun beating down on the lake can warm the water temperature 5 degrees or more in one day. The bass will go to warmer, shallower waters because there is more activity from small fish, crayfish, and other food sources. Dark-bottomed areas at the north end of the lake will warm faster, because black bottoms retain heat better than light-colored sandy bottoms.

Where to fish
3. However, do not go through the flats with a sandy bottom. There is a lake where I fish regularly, which I love to get to before the sun rises. There is an area on the northeast side of the lake, about 10 acres of flat sand, about 3 to 6 feet deep. I can’t even count the number of bass I’ve caught in this area, casting a medium scuba crankbait and bouncing it along the sandy bottom. Bass love to cruise the sandy flats at dawn, they are aggressive and love to bite.

4. Be silent. When you’re fishing in shallow water, the noise you make travels a long way through the water and is amplified considerably above what you hear. I have a big radio with a CD player on my boat, I never have it on when I’m fishing. Can you imagine how that sounds to fish?

I recommend you even turn off the engine before you get to your spot and use the trolling motor to get closer. I think it’s even better if you put the trolling motor at a very low speed and let it run while you’re in shallow water, so it makes a low, constant sound. If you have it at high speed and keep hitting it, it can scare off the fish as well.

Keep things quiet and move as little as possible when you’re in shallow water, especially if you’re in an aluminum boat. Just think that any noise you make is amplified through your helmet and through the water.

Structure
5. When you are in shallow water, look for any structure you can see. A line of brush forms, trees in the water, boat lifts, rocks, etc. Never go over a pier without fishing it from the front to the shore. If you’ve ever fished off a pier, you know that small sunfish, crappies, and other small fish like to hang out on the piers. What do sea bass like to eat? Smaller fish. The Bass knows that the food will be there, so they go there to eat.

Any weeds like sedges that stick out of the water and grow on the sand flats can be amazing at the right time. There is a lake where my brother and I have fished a lot. There is a reed bed in about 5 feet of water on a sandy flat that we had fished before and fished.

One day in a light rain in early June we went to this reed bed and over the course of the next 5 hours we caught over 80 largemouth bass in the 2 to 4 pound range, not very big but a good size and fun to catch in Minnesota. We trap them all in bright purple weightless plastic worms from Texas. It was the single most phenomenal fishing experience I have ever had. We finally gave up because we were tired of fishing. We have caught many more Bass from those reed beds, but never anything like that day.

longer throws
6. Cast longer. When you’re in shallow water, and especially if it’s clear, you’ll want to cast longer so you don’t spook the fish. If you’re fishing on flat sand, you can switch to a rod with a lighter line, because you don’t have to worry about the fish getting caught in the weeds. The lighter line will allow you to cast farther and use the smaller baits if necessary.

7. Wear polarized sunglasses. You will be surprised at how much better you can see through the glare on the surface of the water and see the fish if the water is relatively clear. Seeing fish always excites you. I’ve never tried one of the underwater cameras, but that’s why they’ve become popular. It motivates you if you see the fish. The cameras look great, but I think I would spend more time looking at the screen than fishing, so it wouldn’t help me catch more fish.

Use all your arsenal.
8. Test all your lures. Sometimes any lure will work in the spring. Start with the lures that can cover the most water the fastest. If you are fishing on a sandbar that is open, start with a crankbait. If you are fishing on kelp line or other structure and the water is rough, start with a spinnerbait or chatterbait. If you are out when the sun is up, definitely try a topwater that you can throw near the deck and entice them to bite. If faster fishing lures don’t work, switch to jigs or worms. Every obvious structure. I start with a spinnerbait and then go to a tube jig or plastic worm before moving on. If you find a lure that works, use it until it stops working. Fish can change what they want multiple times during the same day, so don’t get hung up on just one lure. Try different lures and you will catch Bass.

9. Go for smaller lures. If you just can’t find anything that is working. Go for a smaller bait and something that can be fished more slowly. A smaller crappie-sized spinnerbait or smaller tube jig, or 4-inch plastic worms may be just the ticket for finicky bedding or post-spawning bass.

go fishing
10. Go bass fishing. If you live in Minnesota like me and you are a bass fisherman, you are part of a smaller group of anglers. Most anglers in Minnesota fish for walleye and panfish. There is nothing wrong with Walleye or Panfish or Pike. I fish for panfish whenever I want a great fish to eat, nothing beats crappie and lightly breaded, butter-fried sunfish fillets.

One thing you may not know if you don’t fish for bass is that you catch a lot of pike when you fish for bass. I catch my fair share of Walleyes while fishing for Bass. Fishing kelp lines at the edges of deeper water is a good place to catch good size walleye to eat, and they will catch spinnerbaits and crankbaits quite easily. My point is to go bass fishing and you’ll be hooked, especially if you’re like me and hate to stand still and stare at a cork.

Sleep your way to a fit and healthy body.

What we do while we are awake is just as important as what happens when we close our eyes to rest at night. While sleeping may seem like a simple task, the truth is that many people suffer from insomnia and other sleep disorders. It can be a rehabilitative state that can easily alter a person’s overall health and well-being and lead to more problems in the future. A lot can happen if a person doesn’t get enough sleep every night.

Signs that you need more sleep.

• Feeling tired and lethargic
• wake up exhausted
• Have trouble falling asleep
• feel irritable
• suffer from nerves
• constantly falling asleep
• Having trouble remembering simple things

To ensure you get a better night’s sleep, you might consider doing the following:

TO DO?

1. Eliminate all distractions.

If you have electronics in your bedroom, get rid of them.

Your TV is both a visual and auditory stimulant that can still engage your senses while you’re trying to get some sleep.

Your radio is stimulating audio and noise has never been a companion to sleep.

Your laptop should always be used away from your bed. Surfing the Internet just before bed is a bad idea. Stop opening page after page of interesting stories and go to bed early. It’s a rabbit hole, don’t even try to click on that first link.

The biggest culprit is your phone. It is like a silent siren leading you to your final fall. Remember that time you spent the night on the phone only to regret it the next morning? Not only does it sound, but just having it around will cheer you up. Put it in another room and use a bedside alarm to wake you up in the morning.

So things like radio and TV can keep you from sleeping early and soundly, and cutting them out is a good start.

two. Buy yourself a comfortable bed.

A lumpy mattress will do a lot of damage to your body. There is nothing worse than waking up with a sore body. As long as your body is not comfortable, you will not sleep well. Invest in yourself and buy a comfortable mattress that your body will thank you for.

3. Go to bed early.

Adjust your bedtime and slowly but surely trick your body into sleeping early. Adding a few more hours to your sleep time will do wonders for you. You can go round and round for a few hours for the first few days, but persistence will eventually pay off over time. In a few days, your body will realize that there is no point in putting up a fight and letting you sleep.

Treat your body as it deserves and allow yourself to rest throughout the night.

Teenagers often struggle with their real identities. They seek acceptance and belonging among their peers. When they fail in this aspect, what usually happens is that they develop low self-esteem.

There are many factors that can lead a child to have a low self-concept. It may not necessarily be from her peers or friends, but it can come from various walks of life. Their lack of self-confidence may even be influenced by their own parents and other family members, as well as their classmates.

The inferiority complex develops when an adolescent child focuses more on the negative aspects than the positive ones. In cases where his friends do not accept him, the adolescent is more likely to feel disappointed and depressed. There is also a tendency to sulk and not introduce yourself to friends at school or in your community.

So what can you do then as a parent? What is the right step to help your child deal with the problem?

Family therapists point out that strong support and motivation from parents is very important in overcoming the inferiority complex. Motivation can take many forms. This can be encouraging your child in all that he does, whether at school or in her community, using positive words by acknowledging her achievements and assuring her of your continued love and support.

It is at this time that parents also need to establish a strong bond with their teenagers. Find out what your child likes to do during their free time. Observe him and talk to him about hobbies you enjoy, such as drawing, painting, playing musical instruments, or martial arts. If your child likes to read, provide him with good books or go together to a bookstore and look for the reading materials available there.

Eating together as a family is also crucial. Family counselors emphasize that mealtime is an ideal time when parents and children can update each other on the day’s activities. Some parents may not know it, but eating together less often can lead teens to try not-so-great activities, like drinking alcohol or even trying drugs.

Communication is another vital aspect of improving your teen’s self-image. How you interact with your child has a huge impact on them, so as a parent, you need to learn to be calm when talking to your teen, regardless of where you are. In front of friends and family, try to say positive things and avoid scolding your child.

What parents should consider most relevant to how they discipline their teens. Harsh discipline, when done frequently, can result in a rebellious child.

Having high expectations of your teen should also not be practiced if possible. Many parents feel guilty about this, but don’t realize the negative effect of their behavior on their children. When teens are expected to do well in school or in extracurricular activities, they feel pressured, and when they fail, they develop low self-esteem.

So practice these steps and eventually you will have a more confident teen.
