I feel like I am taking life too serious.. There's a saying, a time to laugh, time to cry, etc... Yet how do I find a happy medium?
A senerio: Kids are playing in the mud.. Why can't I join them and have fun? Instead I am worried about the clothes not coming clean, tracking it in the house, etc...
When the kids and I talk.. They know/should know by now how I feel about certain things/actions..etc.. Yet I always seem to give advise, lecture, have serious conversations, etc.. Why can I just let go and have fun with them? Why can't I just joke around and not take things so seriously? Of course I want them to be responsible, etc.. Yet now I notice they seem to act serious most of the time. Like they don't know how to cut loose.
Any advise?
