Tired of being controlled by your emotions? Of losing valuable relationships & opportunities because when you lose your cool, you say or things you later regret? You're not alone. I created #PassengerToPilot, a 7 step Emotional Regulation system for you. PilotMyEmotions.com

My Grandma sold ice blocks. Thinking I was helping, I refilled& replaced what I sold in her absence& it made the rest of the ice thaw. She came back as my Aunty berated me& I'll NEVER forget how she defended me🥹 "is that how to thank a child for helping? she just made a mistake"

I don't care about water on the floor of the bathroom & kitchen sink but my husband does. So I bought a dozen towels, brown for the bathroom, grey for the kitchen & I make a conscious effort to dry the floors. He doesn't care about bright lights, I do, so he got blackout curtains

"death by a thousand paper cuts" is something people who are really interested in having long term successful relationships should know about. It's a lesson many learn after the fact tho. Like that guy who wrote about his wife divorcing him because he left dishes by the sink.

There's such an overabundance of shame reserved for women. If she terminates, shame. She keeps the baby, shame. She loses the baby, shame. Can't conceive, shame. Has only one, shame. Has many, shame. Leaves baby with caregiver to work, shame. Doesn't work to care for baby, shame

I take children seriously. Ask about their feelings, drop down to eye level so I can actually look them in the eyes, listen patiently even when they're rambling, remember details they share so when next I see them & bring it up, their eyes light up because they feel seen & known

You've gotta get comfortable with being seen as a bad person because people will really be mad at you for not letting them run you ragged "how dare you not allow me to do this thing which benefits me, at great expense to you?! I thought you were a good person???"

My husband and I both have connecting flights at Frankfurt, me on my way away and he on his way back home, but his flight leaves like an hour before mine arrives. Can I tell my pilot to speed? Or maybe he should tell his own flight to wait? So we can act love feem 😭

An angle I didn't think about. Nobody is going to want to be friends with her and the stigma will follow her for life. Because of her father's choices 💔

Mothers can teach their children that chores aren't gendered and all but you know how children learn? By observing. They watch their parents. And if dad doesn't actively participate, they look foward to being a dad who doesn't participate too. Even if they did chores growing up.

4 (I think this made as much of an impact with men back when it was published cos it was written by a man. The emotional labor convo is often treated as complaints from unreasonable women. Make of that what you will. I don't have bandwidth for debates) Best of luck to all of us✌🏾

Holding children to higher standards of behavior than adults would NEVER make sense to me
