People around you will respond in kind to your energy—positive or negative, generous or greedy, rowdy or calm, and so on. Realizing this became even more important as a father, seeing the impact my energy, my mood, has on my kids. It’s humbling.

So true. Especially with the 5 year old

I do find that when he’s bouncing off the walls, if I tell him to call down, he doesn’t, even though I’m calm. So this is true but not in all situations with children.

Especially not when they’re sugared up 🤣🤣

I’d be afraid of giving him sugar 😂

It’s as if he has this endless battery that I can’t remove 🤣🤣🤣

💯😂😂

True. The little ones are so perceptives.

My son is incredibly perceptive. He’ll hear a tone in my voice or see me make a slight facial expression and he calls me out on it. 🤣 He keeps me human.

Children are our ground wire :))

When I was a kid my old man was a crotchety asshole who regularly said he hated children. Coincidentally, now I’m a crotchety asshole with no children

True 🫡 the nature of the universe
