Make sure you keep telling your kids that no matter how much you get annoyed sometimes or if you give them timeouts or even shout some times - no matter what - you will always love them and be there for them. They need to know that and feel secure.

Of course if you mean it!

Spot on. So well said. I thought I communicated this well enough to my children, till my 7 year old asked me tearfully after a scolding “Dad, so you were yelling at me. Does this mean you don’t love me any more?”
Damn, it broke my heart. Needless to say, I made it a point to talk about unconditional love, and emphasized it over and over.

Stay off your phone, actually engage with your child.

Don't underestimate your child's intelligence. Let them make choices. Encourage individualism, encourage failure, encourage emotions. Don't let them become you

Figure things out along with your children, instead of figuring it out yourself, then teaching them.

Also, learn to be a mother, not just a father. Anything she does you should be able to cover half the time, and you should be offering to cover often

As a parent of young kids, I want to spend as much time with my kids when they are younger. They won’t need me around so much when they are in their teens.

"Because I said so" isn't an explanation for why something needs to be done. Its a cop out.

Does anyone know why so many Cuyahoga County Common Pleas judges require so much extra stuff with motions for default judgment? Some require an affidavit about service when it's right on the docket. Others require a letter sent with a notice of the hearing, when the clerk clearly does that. I have practiced in multiple other counties small and large and none of them have these.

Hello! I’m from South Carolina and I was wondering if there was any media companies/ productions that are currently hiring PA’s or entry level workers fully remote? I would love to work in LA more than anything, but I can’t afford to move there which means I’ll just have to stick it out in South Carolina for some time. But unfortunately, South Carolina doesn’t have many opportunities in the media/entertainment industry. Any leads, tips, or advice is much appreciated. Thank you!

How do you handle billing disputes? Already feel like we’re a steal compared to other firms, but it’s the pits when clients kvetch about the bill after working hard on their matters. For five figure disputes, anyone recommend collections? Don’t really want to institute retainers, especially since it doesn’t seem common for our practice area.
