The Three ‘H’s

GRAND DADS

June 3, 2003

My wife and I are experiencing (as grandparents) a unique déjà vu.

Twenty-four years ago, we experienced with watching concern and anxiousness our daughter’s and now son-in-law’s dating and relating.

We are again going through similar ‘pain’ as our number two grand-daughter is living with us, as she undertakes tertiary studies. You’ve guessed it, she and her latest ‘beau’ have announced that they are officially an ‘item’, i.e. a couple.

It’s strange when you wake at around 11 o’clock and your blonde boarder has not yet come home.

Do you think we can get back to sleep again?
Oh Me! Oh My!

We really could do without this anxiety all over again!!!

Anyway, we have managed to get them to agree to watching their ‘Aitches’, and which of the three is in charge:
Head,
Heart or
Hormones ????

    Men Want to Talk But No One is Listening — Mental Health Convos

    8 April, 2025

    When I called for men to talk about their mental health, I wasn’t sure what the response would be. But the comments from readers show that many men do want to speak about their emotions, although they feel they are not being heard.

    When I am Winning, WE are Usually Losing

    17 July, 2024

    Pride is profoundly I-centred. It defends our threatened ego by diminishing the other and consequently puts distance between us. Humility is the foundation of harmony and love between husband and wife. It helps us get the focus off winning and onto each other.
