Open Forum

Okay, MomE Club Family so I have been in open forum debate regarding the word “mistake” and its usage in our home and would love to hear your perspective!

Growing up, my siblings and I were taught the following!

  • A mistake repeated more than once is a decision

  • A mistake repeated more than twice is a habit

  • A mistake repeated more than three times is a character

We want our daughter to be intentional and authentic in her communication, action and interaction! and … at times for those that are not emotionally intelligent it may appear to be a “mistake” in which she must apologize however, as her Parents, we believe that choices yield individual consequence and not collaborative consequence or reward. Hear me out… so as a result, if you are unhappy with her “mistake” interchangeable with decision that then becomes a “you” problem as she should be empathetic and courteous but unapologetic in what affects her life directly.

whew- so much said in a short blurb but MomE Club Family you get me right?

Where are my Moms, Moms 2 Be and Moms In Waiting! what do you think- are mistake and decision interchangeable for you? Post your comments below!

Today be sure to be a blessing to someone - the world needs a Mother’s grace and nurturance!

Muah XOXO
