Switching roles can be very difficult to do. I hold so many titles and trying to put on the hat that is needed can be hard to do. Not that I can't do it but the transition time that is required is tricky.
When the kids come home on Sunday from a long hard week with dad and I haven't had ample time to adjust to mom mode...hmmmmm can be a little stressed. Different rules in a different house. It all works but there is adjustment time needed. Summers are busy,busy with little structure and that can tend to "freak" me out! Working on the "will it matter in 20yrs" thinking but I need to be reminded of it at times.
Faith in knowing that this is where I am suppose to be at this time...challenging. Giving up control of others~another put my faith in~that it does all eventually work and work for the better. Trust in others that they are there to help and learning to except the help another story. More letting go of past so that there may be a future. Sometimes not more than a breath in and out.
Live, Laugh and Love. Words to live by. Think I am doing an ok job at it...most of the time!

Kids need to adjust to different sets of rules, that is the way life runs from here on out. They may not always like the rules, but none the less, the level of respect needs to be shown no matter who's house they are in, mom's dad's or anyone else's. Learning how to accept different rules only makes them more rounded. Will it matter in 20 years? Item specific (towel on the floor)~ no. Lesson specific~ helping with the household, following mom's rules, cleaning up after yourself and feeling good about it, following through just "because"~yes that does matter. I've already seen way too many kids come through school thinking rules apply to everyone but them and it's really too bad. Ok, now where did all that come from?
