Family Rules
You've seen them around the web and even in stores. But, have you ever really thought about what YOUR FAMILY RULES are?
I am an ambassador for Power of Mom's. (One day Maybe I will graduate to writer). I started out going to Learning Circles and really loved it. Y'know, the material wasn't new. It wasn't anything I hadn't heard before. But there was a bonding that took place those nights that I really loved.
One of my friends I met there, Danielle, gave a presentation about the five rules her family has. Only FIVE?!?! How could that be? And then she explained it and it all made sense. I really really loved that there was only five. Sometimes I feel like there are too many rules for little people and it has always rubbed me wrong. So five, heck yes!
It took a lot of thought. It took a lot of prayer. It took a lot of picturing what these rules would like for our family in a week, in 5 years, in 20 years. I didn't want them too broad nor too specific. I wanted them to really fit.
We had a family night where we talked about families and rules. Later that week, my husband and I cam up with these 6. yes SIX. I know its not five. It was hard enough to narrow it down to those but I really feel like these are rules we can live by. They are rules that will make us happy and keep us from going crazy.
