Our offspring appear to have made the unilateral decision to take up all my husband’s bad habits instead of mine, much to my dismay. OK, smoking and drinking may be sexier, and way more fun at parties – but it’s perfectionism bordering on OCD, crippling self doubt, and social anxiety that pays the bills!
My husband has asked me to print a retraction. So, I would just like to assure you all that smoking and drinking are not his only bad habits.
One of my daughters is also not happy with the accuracy of this post (honestly! everyone’s a critic…) She points out that she demonstrates at last two of my bad habits and, what’s more, has yet to notice any positive effects in terms of employment. To which I say – it’s still early days! (To make it three from three or to translate it into ready funds, I’m not sure)
…and if you’d taken that Starbucks job like I told you, you’d be well on your way to riches by now!
