This is the most common way I’ve come across in my life. It’s a simple thing to do, but it does have a lot of the same flaws as the more complex things. I’ve tried to be like the girl with the glasses on and the music at the table, but it’s not the best way to do it. It also doesn’t provide the space for my children to think about the other stuff.
The only real issue I have with this is that you have to be a bit of a jackass to actually get the other party to leave the table. You cant leave the table until you do, so when your children are in the room they cant think about what they are doing and you will be left thinking that everyone is ignoring you and they are too busy being mean.
I feel for your children, my kids and I have one daughter who is nearly 10 and one who is nearly 3. I was talking to her about this today, and asked her if she was starting to understand that everyone has the same needs. She said, “No, I have no idea that everyone has the same needs.” My immediate response was, “Are we talking about your needs, or your mother’s needs?” She said, “My needs.
I think that anyone who thinks that everyone has the same needs is a selfish, entitled, self-centered, and self-absorbed person.
I’m not a fan of this. I don’t think it’s a good idea to label people with the same needs as your own children, especially your own adult children. They may not know about your needs, but they definitely do. They are your needs, too. They are your mother’s needs, your sisters’ needs, your daughters’ needs, etc. The way you define your needs is going to dictate your actions.
The more selfish, entitled, self-centered, and self-absorbed a person is the better they are likely to be. But I don’t know of any studies to support that claim.
Its called self-awareness. It is the ability to know yourself. It is knowing what you like and don’t like, what you would do if you could. It is knowing how to act in a certain situation.
Self-awareness is the ability to know yourself and what you like and dont like, what you would do if you could. It is knowing how to act in a certain situation. It is knowing how to be.
