I just don't want anyone to be afraid to tell me what's bothering them- I don't want anyone to think I consider their problems "insignificant." But I do have a new perspective. Dan's adenoids need to come out, but I'm kind of like "whatev!" with those. I'll squeeze that little procedure into our schedule when I can find the time!

Odd sort of gift, but life is funny sometimes.<br /><br />As an example, this mom took her son to the hospital with a broken leg not long after her daughter finished treatment, and the doctor remarked that she was the calmest parent he'd seen in there. She responded by saying that while a broken leg is unfortunate, it's not cancer and generally doesn't have the same sorts of consequences.<br /><br />It has two sides--on one side, people don't want to complain to us about little issues because they feel bad. On the other side, they are acutely aware of the perspective that they had and perhaps don't want us to tell them (not that we would) that their problem is no big deal.<br /><br />Hmm..I think I wrote more than you, and it's your blog.
