| Lead By Example |
Last night at 10pm my show came on (being Mary Jane), Erin was showered, we both just finished our reading and I was lying in bed in my robe waiting for my show while Erin was getting herself ready for bed. (We go to bed late!) I am admitting that I am a snacker...I love sweets especially at night after dinner. In addition to going to the gym, eating healthy throughout the day and drinking my juice, I love to snack. I snack when I get home, while I cook dinner and at night. So, last night, I called her in my room and asked her to please bring me a yogurt. She went downstairs and came back with two yogurts! One for me and one for her! I flipped out! I went on to tell her that it's too late for her to eat and just because I get a snack doesn't mean you get one too!! And she said well it's too late now, I already opened it. So I paused and said ok then go and have it but that's it!
Moral of the story is remember to "lead by example" in the things we do in front of people, our spouse, family, friends and especially the children. Everyone is watching you whether you realize it or not! My child is becoming a late night snacker just like me right before my eyes!! And I despise it! I need to stop myself and then she won't want to do it, before it becomes a problem in the long run.
