Ever caught yourself being kinder to a random stranger than to your own family? In this episode of 'LOL Sober', Nelson H. dives deep into this common yet puzzling behavior. Imagine dealing with a teenager's mood swings and a 6-year-old's endless questions, all while trying to keep your cool. It's no wonder Nelson finds himself snapping at his kids more often than he'd like.
But why is it easier to show patience to strangers than to our own loved ones?Nelson gets real about his own struggles with frustration and impatience, especially during the pandemic when everyone’s nerves are frayed. He reflects on how his reactions are often more about his own state of mind than his kids' behavior.
Through candid storytelling, Nelson explores the role of spirituality in managing these emotions and offers practical tips for injecting more compassion into daily family life.Listeners will find themselves nodding along as Nelson shares relatable anecdotes and practical advice on how to navigate the tricky waters of family dynamics in sobriety.
Whether you're a parent, partner, or just someone trying to be better for those you love, this episode is packed with insights that can help you foster more patience and understanding at home.
