Most recently... I've been cursing at the infinite amount of choices we have to make. Tiles... lampshade.. paint color... door hinge color. UGH!!!! Joyce says that's the beauty of capitalism. If this were a socialistic society, we'll have gray... and light gray.
This curse carries onto our kids. We think we love them... but it's a torture.
"What do you want for breakfast?" We'll ask them sometimes. How the heck do they know?!? They're 4 and 6. They want french fries and chocolate. Duh!!! I think we do this for two reasons.
1) We're (as parents) are lazy.
2) We don't want to hear them whine. Whatever they choose, we hope they'll like it and it's healthy.
Why can't we just cook them whatever we cook them...and they don't complain????
Then there's Netflix. I admit we fall victim to spoiling our kids to letting them watching kids videos on Netflix. What makes it worse... is we ask them, "What do you want to watch??"
There's over 1000 choices!!! How they heck do they know what to say??? It's just like Joyce asking me to go to Home Depot and say, "Which light switch do you want??" I'm a grown adult with a college education... how he heck do I know??
