I never read books really about parenting. Maybe the giving emotions a name could help, but usually in the heat of the moment I tend to forget those good advice things? And the boys are very good in solving their problems by hitting the other one on the head. Guess that's also part of it? At least they know of each other very well where their boundaries are... And often the really cross them on purpose.

Relationship, ah well, I think doing things together, talking together and something doing things apart is good. Keep the balance. We also work together, so I sometimes feel it's just a lot being together, that's when I take a break or linger around in the city after grocery shopping...

I'm not really into signs, I'm a Leo, I know that, but not sure if it really says that much about me.

Sexists stink. >.> But since there are so many of them, I stopped fighting it, just ignore instead. Not worth my time or my energy, sometimes it strikes when at a party and after having had some drinks, lol. Those are time I throw out all my thoughts and principles. We usually solve all the problems in the EU, that sort of things. I'm super chatty when tipsy.

@Jolien: Astrology is more than just your main (Sun) sign. There's a whole bunch of different things in your birth chart that plays a role in your personality. People just don't know much about it and think it's BS even if there are a lot of books on the topic. So it doesn't surprise me when people say they don't identify with their Sun zodiac. It's too little information to describe a person fully.

I don't think it's a huge problem to not care about everything, just pick and choose the battles you think it's worth it. In general, the weather and other people's behavior are things you cannot change yourself. Could be worth mentioning it, but not something to fuss over. It would be SO nice if people would in general just look a bit more at themselves instead of complaining about other people, comparing themselves with other people, what they have, what they own, what they can. Work on your own, be nice to other's.

But no more, not worth it. :> People talking for you are annoying. I'm sometimes one of those... Especially if people are looking for words, I try to help and sometimes fill in, but well. So far haven't had anyone yelling at that. Except my almost 5 year old, he's often looking for words and sooo descriptive. I get impatient... >.>

@ Jacob: Ooh, you know how often I say (or yell) something at my kids and think afterwards "I hear my mom... ._____."

@ Mem: I really know nothing about astrology, I've checked other moon stands and such, but I always feel it's kinda basic information. Especially the weekly stuff they write in magazines, 'cause I feel it's often written in a way that it could be true for everyone who reads it. I guess there are people who truly know more about it and could write something specific, but I think it's just the many charlatans who ruined it for everyone and gave it a bad name?

Yeah, those in the magazines really are just too general, not to mention they are written for your Rising zodiac, not your Sun sign (I think). There's a whole lot to uncover with planetary placements, the twelve houses, aspects and correlations between your planets, degrees etc.
I could tell you about the Sun, Moon and Rising signs, as well as Venus, Mars, Mercury, other planets, the retrogrades, North and South Nodes but that would take too much time XD Plus the moon phase of the day you were born, apparently that matters too. Plus, there's tropical and sidereal and vedic astrology and it's a whole mess
And there's a lot of maths involved. It's not as straight-forward as people think. The problem with astrology is that it used to be a science thing and now it's called a pseudo-science, perhaps because it was too symbollic and based on intuition. That's what I'd presume.

@Moi: I have a resting sad face. All my life people asked me why I'm sad. And when I said I wasn't, they'd tell me to smile. Okay, so I should be smiling all the time, even when I'm sitting alone, like a fucking idiot? Would that make anyone feel better? What a useless thing to say, "smile". I might, if you tell me a joke or something. Give me a reason to smile, I'll probably smile. Sitting and smiling without reason would be creepy.

Love the resting bitch face expression, I'd rather call it neutral face expression, but I do believe that everyone's different... Not everyone has a face where their lips go upwards by themselves. Imagine when you get older and everything start to sag...

Also, people who always walk over the street with a huge smile would be called maniacs. I guess it's just people in general who like to judge. I wonder if it's the same with animals, listening to the birds, maybe they have the exact same shit-talk as people. XD And we all think, "how cute".
