Child raising challenge

in October 2013 Moms
With all of the post about bullying and learned behaviors, it occurred to me that my children will learn good and bad things from me and I know I can be a better example. I stated talking to DH about this and we decided to create a challange to better ourselves. For example, I'm incredibly bossy. I'm working on that. DH tends to bend the truth on his spending. He's working on being truthful the first time instead of the third and so on. So here's my challange to you. Pick one thing you'd like to work on and have your SO/BFF/#anybodydoesntmatter help keep you in check. We set up "safe words" so that it doesn't turn into a cat fight. Ours are "bossy" and "truth". When these words are said by the other, our actions must halt and be reevaluated. We also discussed the importance not abusing the safe words. It's worth a try!

    Mine - not a big talker/small talk person and that matters to a lot of people. Talking about menial things I guess.

    Hubs - bad temper. He has a verrry short fuse.

    Both of us - cussing! Currently both of us are calling each other out on this. I don't want a two year old dropping f bombs.

    DH and I have been working on this since we had DD1. It has really helped us.

    I worked on my temper and DH has worked on communicating.
