Responsibility - Part 1

Responsibility. Wow! There are a lot of things that come up for me. Things I'm responsible for and things I'm not responsible for? We've had quite a few High Vibe Conversations in regards to who and what we are not responsible for.

Steena Marie : “A friend of mine recently asked me if I used my kids to comfort myself during my divorce. I said, ‘Somebody who uses their children in a divorce has always used their children and probably will always use their children. That's what creates adults who feel overly responsible for their parents' emotions and needs. As they age, they also tend to feel responsible for the emotions and needs of others like their extended family, partners, friends, bosses, coworkers, etc.’

As a parent, I do think a lot about what I make my kids responsible for. I keep it appropriate to their age and stage of development. I give them responsibilities I know they can handle and as they grow, their confidence and level of responsibility grows. Then in adulthood, they will feel confident and their responsibilities will feel manageable. Otherwise, as adults, they will feel responsible for too much. And that is really overwhelming. They won't know what they are actually responsible for."?
