[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 112144, member: 805"] I'm with Linda - I don't really call them resolutions - they are things I would like to do in 2008. One of them is to put on my gear and smash the eggshells that have been surrounding difficult child the last few years. I feel in my gut that this year, the year he turns a teen ( [img]:faint:[/img] ), is a critical point for him. I need to begin to require more from him. He needs to remove the sphere of "I'm different, I'm special" that he has helped to create around him. I know in my heart he is able to give a little more, especially at school. I wouldn't push if I felt it was not something that he could accomplish over time. It will take work on both our parts. So that is one for difficult child and me. My next goal is going to WW with easy child. She is really excited about it. She is such a wonderful daughter (and person) I need to do this for both of us. Again, it will require some hard work, but in long run I think it will actually improve all three of us! So my goals are connected to my children. I feel if I can achieve progress, since they are ongoing goals, it will make me a better person and will pay off in the long run for my kids.
