[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only five? Why are we pretending like sleep is optional? Or that hugging your kid takes the same effort as strength training? Honestly, some of this list is just… life. They’re not “rituals,” they’re baseline functioning. Like, “homework” and “eating food” don’t get to be non-negotiables… they just are. Same with sleep. Unless your 8-year-old has a night shift I’m unaware of? Also, what exactly is a “chore check”? Is that different from just… parenting? I don’t get the separate line item unless someone’s issuing formal progress reports on dish duty. [b]If the real issue is time, then sure, pick your top 3–5 moments of intentionality. But don’t lump “lunch” and “spiritual discussion” in the same category as “reading” and “laying out clothes.” One is soul work, the other is “Tuesday.”[/b] Do what matters most. Ditch what doesn’t. But maybe rethink how you’re categorizing basic human maintenance.[/quote] Do your kids not eat lunch on Tuesdays? But they have to lay out their clothes and read daily? [/quote]
