Segue...pronounced SEG-WAY

So apparently I forgot to mention in my previous post that we have now moved on from the topic of "Getting Organized" to that of "Opportunities." The goal of this topic is for us to identify the myriad opportunities for success, growth, and fulfillment that we encounter on daily basis. In other words, we hope that this topic will help us to take off the proverbial blinders so that we can recognize that Random Guy from Law School # 2 asking us out for happy hour is a networking opportunity and not simply another thing keeping us from climbing into bed and catching up on "Lost."

So, in the spirit of opportunities…our next step is to give you guys an opportunity to be more involved with the blog. How, you wonder? Well, by instituting what we're going to call "Questions from Neverland." Basically, we're going to have new posts on a regular basis that introduce adulthood questions that one or more of us are grappling with at the time. It's a very communal way of wondering, "Is this normal?" We hope that your responses will not only help us with our various adulthood dilemmas but also incite interesting conversations among the responders.

First question: What is an adult way to deal with a fight with a parent/parents?

Go ahead, dazzle us with your wisdom. If we get no responses, we might get that "last kid picked for the kickball team feeling" (or as Wendy might identify with.."last Freshman picked for Phys Ed Volleyball Team Feeling")

Get talkin!

  1. Personally, whenever I fight with my parents I just end up apologizing. Not because I think I'm actually in the wrong - I swear that I'm usually not (objective people have told me so). Basically, I apologize because it's just easier. My parents, my dad especially, can hold a grudge forever....like forever, forever, and I just don't want to have it hanging over my head that I'm fighting with them. It's easier to just say sorry (through gritted teeth) and move on.

  2. I on the other hand, as pointed out in the "Weaknesses" portion, am the grudge holder. Especially according to one of my parents. I chose to stand my ground in a month long bout of silent treatment, and then eventually it just went away. Very adult.
