Notes to Grandchildren – April 2, 2024 (An Old Story)

Dear Grandchildren,

It’s an old story.

A parent comes home from a hard day at work. The parent yells at their spouse about anything and everything. Although whatever prompted the yelling was something trivial.

The spouse then becomes angry with the children about toys or video games or clothes or some minor thing. The spouse yells at the children.

Now the children are upset. The children take out their frustration on each other or their pets.

Now the entire household is in an uproar simply because one parent had a bad day at work.

I’m ashamed to say that I’m guilty of bring work home and upsetting the household.

Learn to leave work’s frustrations outside the home. Life become so much better when you do.

Love,

Grandfather
