I didn't realize it until recently. But I thrive on praise or I give up if I don't receive positive feedback. I don't know about it getting me into trouble with bad situations that God would not approve of, but it HAS caused problems in my life as far as my not living up to my potential or becoming idle. Those are things that inspire unhappiness in myself, and that's not a good thing either. <br /><br />Stopping by from VB.Windthicket Fableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820803765909133728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561837919740137511.post-48595499856075617842011-10-05T11:49:46.643-05:002011-10-05T11:49:46.643-05:00Wow.

As the oldest and only girl of my parents offspring I am exactly like your daughter. <br /><br />Hopefully your daughter will learn at an earlier age than I did that it's okay to say no and draw a line in the sand. Thanks to lots of prayer and looking to the mother of our Lord, I have found some peace. <br /><br />Sharon<br />http://sharon-moms-madhouse.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537204376003875463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561837919740137511.post-23381765016645233362011-10-05T09:17:17.714-05:002011-10-05T09:17:17.714-05:00I'm a lot like your daughter.

I hate it when people get upset with me, but I don't like this character trait in myself. <br /><br />Got here from Members to Remember<br /><br /><a href="http://www.momfever.com" rel="nofollow">Momfever</a>Momfeverhttp://www.momfever.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561837919740137511.post-43311926711596289672011-10-05T08:47:56.335-05:002011-10-05T08:47:56.335-05:00Being the oldest in my family, I too, am a people ...Being the oldest in my family, I too, am a people pleaser. It took me a long time to learn that I could set boundaries and expect people to respect those boundaries. I tried to instill in my children from the beginning that they could be leaders and not followers. We often read Bible stories where people made the hard choices and they were blessed and sometimes persecuted for it.<br />Thanks for this great post!<br />Blessings,<br />~ErinErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697110369952312067noreply@blogger.com
