[quote=Anonymous]I try to be less self-centered and more pro-active in making my wife and kids happy. I grew up in a family that basically left me alone. Simply not getting in people's way was my idea of good family behavior. There was a fair amount of anger and tension growing up, so I'm really good at being aware of people's thoughts and emotions -- but mainly as a tool for avoiding conflict. So, my default approach to family life has been more about taking care of my own responsibilities and not interfering with other people's ability to take care of theirs. That's not a horrible starting point as far as being a husband and parent goes, but it's not quite enough. I'm trying to be more mindful about how to actually make their days better and making a point to initiate interactions with warmth and affection. [/quote]
