Are you doing okay? Lots to read lately I\u2019m sure. We recently had our spring break and we took a family vacation!!! I’m excited and the best part is that it was budgeted beforehand. Yep, that\u2019s right we have a budget and we talk about our budget twice a month. It\u2019s a hard thing to talk about, it\u2019s sticky and annoying and easier just to spend money, but guess what? You need to talk about the sticky stuff or else you shouldn’t be doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s talk about the sticky stuff or at least what I get all the time as sticky stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Money
<\/strong>Might as well start with this one because I was just talking about it. If you are spending it, living it, then talk about it. Have a budget even if you aren\u2019t living within your means right now. Being about to talk about it does help and trust me, it gets easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex<\/strong>
Yep, that\u2019s right, if you’re doing it, you need to talk about it. Find out what\u2019s working, what you enjoy, what\u2019s not working and if you’re both satisfied with the amount of sex in your life. If you’re not, talk about it, if you are, then great, keep at it!!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parenting styles<\/a><\/strong>
I talk about this one from time to time. Isn\u2019t it cute when you see your partner laughing with your kids when it\u2019s bedtime? NOPE, it\u2019s bedtime. Well, to you it might be bedtime but for your partner, it might be bonding time. Again, don\u2019t get mad, talk about it, find a common balance that works for both of you. Trust me, you don\u2019t want to be with someone that thinks like yourself, that\u2019s why you’re with someone different. Trust those differences and find a common balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extended family<\/a><\/strong>
Um, so your partner wants you to take care of them when they are sick? What, you remember as a child being left alone and that\u2019s how you like it. Are you kidding me, your partner\u2019s mom is coming over to take care of them when they’re sick. Okay, you get the point. If your families think differently, that\u2019s okay because guess what, you get to make up the rules now. Remember all of those rituals of connections<\/a>, talk about them, come up with your own rituals and leave the extended family as extended.
I\u2019m going to stop there because I\u2019m hoping by now you get my point. Anything and everything can and should be talked about. It\u2019s the sticky things that really should be talked about because they are even harder to talk about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you talk about the sticky situations?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How does that work out for you? Did I miss yours? Tell me about it and also share how you talk through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m always open to hearing things you want me to write about. If you have a topic, please feel free to email me jennifer@facetofacetherapy.com and share with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
