Very proud of @justinebedford1 WINNER - @BIIandBIIAB licensee of the year award. It’s nice that people can see how special and inspiring I think you are

I asked my mom and dad for advice this Easter from raising me and my brother… I’m not a parent yet but I’m trying to be (fingers crossed). This is what they told me, maybe you’ll find it useful too: 1. Your kids are not your friends. They’re yours to safeguard and support, but set rules. Biggest problem with most kids in our generation, their parents wanted to be liked not respected. 2. Psy ops are underrated. My mom had this line for whenever I got into trouble. She’d say, “99% of the time when I ask you a question like this, I already know the answer. I am giving you a chance to come clean...” At which point I’d sing like a canary because I’m a scaredy cat. I found out today she rarely knew the answers. Brilliant and maniacal. 3. Always on the same page. My mom and dad rarely fought in front of my brother and I. They would never go back on the word of the other. United front to deal with us mini terrorists. 4. Make time. My dad had this silly line that is actually not silly: “You can make money, you can make a cake, but you can’t make time.” So they made allllll the time for us. I can’t remember a softball game they weren’t at… And have you watched girls’ softball before?? That’s love. 5. Four chairs. We have these four chairs in our living room, no tv. Growing up, we’d sit and debate and talk for hours. Politics. Opinions. Our days. Only thing not allowed was an opinion you couldn’t defend unemotionally. We still do this today. 6. Mi Sangre mi siempre. They’d always say, blood comes first. They meant it. I hired my brother, my dad, my mom, my cousin at times. We stick together and we may fight like hell but never in front of others. 7. Once you decide, you don’t quit. We could play any sport or instrument BUT if we committed we had to play the full year all out. No 3 lessons and quit. Taught us to choose thoughtfully and keep going even when it hurt. 8. Always call. They still pick up the phone nearly every time it’s family. My dad in a meeting will pause to answer my mom. My husband taught me this too, and I try to do the same. If they’re your first priority this is an easy way to prove it. 9. You don’t need money to vacation. We grew up without much - mom a teacher, dad working in small business. But I kinda thought we were rich. Camping, fishing, hiking, hunting, whispering stories around the campfire on the beach in Mexico. BUT we packed it, we picked up, we always had to leave it better than we found it. 10. You’re not a princess, you’re a president. My dad always used to say that line. He told me this week that I lived up to it. Gutted me. He taught us we didn’t need to be saved, instead we could save ourselves and help others. 11. Hug often and seriously. If you’ve ever hugged my parents, they mean it when they do it. Such a simple, free gesture. My mom always gives you a hug and says vaya con dios… go with God. How can you not do big things with parents that hold you like that? Just some lessons from the road from parents I happen to think are some of the best in the world. Moms and dads everywhere, I’m in awe of you. Hardest job I’ve ever seen. *This is one of my favorite pics of me and my dad. Doesn’t get old.
