I like your rules. I might have to try them. I try to be honest even when it comes to my own opinion. If I can't say anything nice then I just shut up. I try to remind myself that in a few years the teenagers will be out on their own then they will respect me and the decisions I made. I believe some things and some ppl are just not worth the trouble. Know when it's time to move on to something else. Love my family like there is no tomorrow. Remember not to whine, no one likes a whiner(sp?) especially me.
