Reply To: How do I make myself SHUT UP?

[Lori]

Woah. I’m stuck on #3.  Much harder than not interrupting.

Last night my teen said she needed to vent.  I said go ahead.  She told me not to you; you have all the answers.  Ouch.   She tried to back out because she knew my feelings were hurt.  I said, own that, because you’re right.

She vented a bit,  I bit my tongue.  It was hard.  Her Dad came home.  We were both happy.  He’s just better at being at the other end of a vent.
