[quote=Anonymous]Just turned 50. Choose your kids’ school carefully. I fully credit the middle school and high school we picked with helping to form a teen who is largely pleasant to be around. Maintain your own relationships. I have close colleagues at work and friends from many different parts of my life. Exercise. Definitely my weakest link and has caused me lots of problems that I am now working to correct. Take up a new sport - see fitness and making friends above. Go to the doctor. Finding something bad early can really help make it not so bad. Boundaries. We have been doing a lot of elder care for the past too many years. Once I knew we were in it for the long haul, I drew firm boundaries for our nuclear family. We went on vacation despite our relative’s protestations. The other side of the family can be overwhelming so I draw boundaries with them too. [/quote]
