"What I Teach My Son" Day

Just like some of my fellow bloggers have Wordless Wednesdays and WTF Wednesdays, I've decided that this blog also needs some kind of consistency. The problem is, I'm horrible with regularity... consistency... repetitiveness... boredom... I mean, consistency! For those who believe in horoscope, I was born at the end of May, so I'm a typical (some say the worst kind of) Gemini. Therefore (?), I suck at establishing and maintaining routines (although I am getting better as I get older and since I became a mom).

I'd like to start a consistent title, but I can't designate it to Wednesdays because of the time difference between my immediate reality (Taiwan Time) and my virtual reality (Pacific time). I need a few days to finish writing a post, but Blogger saves the date of the first draft as the date that I publish. Like today, for example, I actually published two posts, but you see one of them as published on the 14th.

I can't guarantee that I will always start a post every Thursday my time, so to make things easier, I'm just gonna call it the "What I Teach My Son" Day. I'll try to publish it in regular time intervals. I promise.

Without further ado, here's the first What I Teach My Son:

Whenever a woman complains about her new haircut, never agree with her despite what you really think. Remember when mommy came home from the hair salon last weekend and she was telling daddy how much she hated her new haircut? Daddy just kept telling her how cute she looked and how much he liked it. That's what you have to do, okay? It'll save you sooooo much trouble. Trust me.

I love this idea! I've started a journal for each of my kids. I hope you don't mind, but this is a great idea to add little "life lessons" to some of my entries. Because you are so right about the haircut response!

I'm glad you liked this idea. Will you be sharing some of the entries in your blog (holding my breath.....)?

Great idea. And don't worry about the "dating". That is one great piece of wisdom to pass down to Kai. Will keep him away from homicidal women. ;-) Another piece of advice I've given to my boys: NEVER EVER ask a woman whether she is pregnant, even if she does look like she just swallowed a watermellon, until she tells you so herself.
