easy to say and hard to do.
hello all.
my wife and i are the parents of four children. we raised them and we had no help in doing so. they were ours and we did not expect any help. we were both raised in a time where you did things on your own and expected no one to help. if you got in a mess you cleaned it up. if you made a mistake you had to learn from it. the bigger the mistake the faster you learned not to do that again. now some people that have no children seem to think it is an easy job but it isn't. it is easy for some one to think he or she could do a much better job than we did or any one for that matter. it is easy when you are saying it and have no children but it is very hard when you actually have one or two or f0ur.
there seems to be a lot of things in this life that are easy to say but are very hard to do. saying is always easier than doing. i can say i want to go on a diet but going on one is another thing. it is hard and difficult and hard to do each and every day. it is hard to stick to. people that have never had a problem with their weight love to tell a person that does, whats the big deal. just eat less. so easy to say, especially when you have never had a weight problem. it is easy to tell some one who is depressed, just take it easy and don't worry so much . you think that the depressed person has not tried that. some time he or she has no idea why they are depressed. maybe it is a chemical imbalance. there could be many reasons. a lot of people look down on the homeless and it is easy to think to yourself or say to some one else, that person should just get a job. he or she must be lazy. that might not be so at all. i know there are things in my life that come easy for me and some times i think why isn't every one like that. i had a friend that was good at fixing cars. i use to have him fix mine all the time. he use to call me when he had carpentry work to be done or a heater or air conditioning unit worked on. when i would go to him and tell him my problems with my car or truck he would tell me how easily i could fix it. he would say, you just have to do this and then he would tell me what i should do. i always stopped him right away and said, it is easy for you but not for me. i must admit i did the same when he would call and ask me to hang a door or find out why his heater was making a funny noise.
i see people all the time that love to grow things. theey have a beautiful garden and i love to see what they have accomplished. on the other hand though, i can't grow any thing. i have tried but with no luck. so i stay away from it. you have to know your limits some time . i must admit though that i am hard headed and do not like to be beaten and i will try and try to do some thing before i give it up but some things are not easy for some and real easy for others.
