What a piece of advice that you've held onto over the years? (self.dadvice)

For me it's if it won't matter in 5 years it doesn't matter now. Kept me from being a tyrant over things like leaving lights on and what not.

I get uptight about little shit and then I feel horrible for making a fuss about it. There's only so much apologizing you can do before your kids second guess going to you. I've worked on it long and hard but it still comes out before I think first. As much as I try to not be like my parents it still comes out at times. Your advice is really spot on.

One to give out is to think about what needs to be done without asking your partner for a list or whatever. Be the good equal partner and that will help make you a better parent
