S2 E16 Real Talk Tuesday - It's a Wonder My Kids Survived Childhood

Welcome to Season 2 of Beautifully Broken with DawnRanae!

This season is about self care, being more self aware. 

So today I talk about the conversations my kids , and I, have when we get together. 

Sometimes they make fun of me and each other. 

Sometimes they ramble down memory lane and make fun of themselves, admit to transgressions I had no clue had happened...

And yes, they even tattle on themselves for things they did that one of their siblings got in trouble for.

Like when one of the boys jumped off the roof - 3 stories high- nearly giving me a heart attack...

There was a pile of sand about 10 feet tall at the side of the house that had just been delivered, but I didn't know that at the time.

And apparently, all this time later, I find out he did it on a dare from his little brother.

Yes, it is amazing that my kids, and I , survived their childhood.

But even more amazing, is that they still reminisce about these shared memories, and joke and laugh and are able to maintain healthy connections to each other... 

Like the kid on the playground who liked you so he annoyed to crap out of you...

My kid tease one another, me, their cousins and aunts and uncles... as a way of showing love and affection, knowing that what they give is also given in return, with love and acceptance and understanding.

I am lucky that all 6 of my kids are good people. I am lucky that they are close and that they like each other and trust each other will always be there when they need them.

I am Lucky, and I know it.
