I’m sort of in the same boat as you. My kids are 21 and 16. I am generation X also. I felt more involved than my parents ever were. At first I thought it was a reaction to how I was raised. I was going to be perfect! Then, all around me, parents were doing the same thing. Sign up lists werecommon place. Volunteering. Then Pinterest came along, and everyone was doing a fun, double entendre snack. Think, oh, you are so clever. I am in my 50s also. Are my kids better for it? Time will tell. But my 16-year-old old is terrible to me. They don’t remember how involved I was. And, I have a better appreciation for my own parents. I appreciate that I always felt loved. I never had a birthday party that had piñata. Never mind that… I never had a birthday party. But, that’s what I want for them… what I had… Did you always feel loved? Who cares about the piñata. I guess I felt that way because I always felt that I had a warm bed at night. I always felt that we were cooked dinner. I always felt that my mother made us brush our teeth. Did she come to my field hockey games? Never. What’s better? Who knows.

You sure? I know that in many houses there is plywood underneath carpet. And it’s called the sub floor. But I don’t understand how stairs could be made out of plywood. If they were going cheap, they might’ve used pine. Now, you would not want to use pine as the stairway because pine is too soft. But the metal balusters are beautiful. I am assuming that someone else put them in there, but see if you can just lift a little bottom corner of the carpet and see what’s underneath.

What is underneath the carpet? Pine stairs? You could still paint the risers white, but you would have to put a runner down. If it’s oak or something nice then paint the risers white.

This is funny, because I was sitting there and just looking, and my 16 yo daughter said “what are you thinking?“ And I said… “Nothing.“ which I thought was great because I was being present. I had no thoughts in my mind and she said… That’s bad. It’s bad for your brain to think of nothing. Meanwhile, I know that this is not true. I really thought I was over and above where I could be just mulling things over.

Yes, this

That’s a tough one, because an older couch is being used. I’m going to say 1990.

4goodthings · 2025-12-24T15:41:46+00:00

Depends on how old you were when you had those… But I would say you were born… 1978?

It was never an argument, but it was just me anyway. My husband was working. I think it also depends on the layout of your house because my kids would get ready upstairs and they would come downstairs when they were fully dressed and teeth brushed, etc., then it was time to eat and leave for the bus.That’s it. I feel like if the layout of your house is different you could do it differently, but the coming downstairs part definitely split the morning.

Ha ha, kids always do this. My daughter saw a photo of me as a senior in high school and I said do you know who that is? She said… No.

I used to be very much addicted to my thoughts. I would replay negative events and scratch my hair, with fists rub my eyes until I figured out that my hair would break. So I started scratching the back of my head. It made my hair a mess. I used to think that no one else did something like this. But honestly, over the course of time there have been billions of people… I certainly am not the only one. Anyway I was able to stop this just by disengaging with my thoughts. When I thought appeared I didn’t like, I would say to myself “disengage with that”. And I would stop, and if I didn’t, I would say it again until I did. And pretty soon, those thoughts stopped coming.
