Ridiculous Expectations
Expectations are something that everyone has to some degree. You have certain expectations for your day, such as that it will go a particular way or that someone will respond in a specific way. Expectations exist about your children, spouse, and everything else in life. As long as you can learn to let go of your expectations for people in your life to be themselves, it’s natural.
While it’s nice to want your children and their spouses to succeed, you don’t always know what is best for them or what will make them happy.
