The (Mostly) Mature Parent Type 😆
You’re so lucky!
While any parent when stressed could exhibit some of the other traits you saw while taking this quiz, the average parent (thank goodness!) is still doing a pretty good job.
Sounds like yours is one of them.
The emotionally mature parent is consistent and reliable.
They don’t take things personally, and work within the reality of the moment rather than fighting against it.
They respect your boundaries and exhibit reciprocity.
They are giving, flexible, even-tempered, and honest.
They are willing to be influenced and to apologize and make amends.
The (Mostly) Mature Parent is also responsive. Their empathy makes you feel safe, seen, and understood.
They like to both comfort you and be comforted by others, too.
They accept that they too are human, and never perfect, so they take time to reflect on their actions and seek to change what needs tweaking if they see a blemish.
Their parenting motto might best be summed up as:
“It’s not always easy, but being your parent is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I love you more than life itself.”
They can laugh with you and be playful. Even silly. They enjoy having fun with you.
Yes, you enjoy being around a parent like this one, don’t you? What a gift you’ve been given.
Congratulations on uncovering your unique emotional journey with the (Mostly) Mature Parent Type.
While you’ve got it made in the parent department, have you considered what you can do to make sure you deliver the same blessings to your own children, spouse, and maybe even the world?
If so, then you might enjoy listening to The Romance Mystic’s “Messy Middles” podcast or joining our private community.
Or maybe you could help our members and listeners by honoring us with an interview with you or your wonderful parents?
… Read on to see what I mean.
About the “Messy Middles” Podcast, hosted by Kiddo Elliott, The Romance Mystic…
TUESDAY EPISODES
We delve deep into ONE of the 111+ top marriage challenges as outlined and shared with all my email subscribers in the free illustrated guide: 111+ Marriage Dragons and How to Slay Them.
We are sharing all the best-known possible solutions, and gathering more insight and wisdom from our listeners, too. That’s YOU!
Our mission here is to inspire TRUE love between the sheets… and divine cooperation between the sexes.
WEEKLY GUIDE, CHECKLIST, WORKBOOK
After each episode, I’ll compile this collective wisdom into a comprehensive, action-packed guide and workbook dedicated to that particular challenge.
THURSDAY EPISODES
We’re all about helping people identify and set the most solid standards for a mate, using a personalized math formula of sorts I call ‘Zero Factors.’
While listeners await that ideal mate, we’ll learn how to focus on shaping our own character into the best it can be and figuring out how to identify and pursue a career we will enjoy.
REWARDING PRIVATE COMMUNITY
For members of our private community, the fun, growth, and adventure continue!
Here, in the digital haven I’ve built for us all, we’ll come together to discuss each topic freely to our heart’s content.
Ask questions, groan over my LOTR references, and connect with peers who understand the journey we’re all on—the journey to break free from the challenges imposed by careless, immature, selfish, narcissistic, or loveless parenting during our most impressionable years. A childhood without role models, adult guidance, or much love.
And because I am SO not claiming to have any sort of monopoly on the best information to help members blossom in their search for love, marriage, and career, I promise to make two things happen in our community always…
First, you, you, you. I want YOUR feedback and will give you space and plenty of opportunities to share it.
Secondly, I’ll keep learning myself AND seeking out other successful couples with decades-long marriages—humanity’s wisest elders—to interview and preserve their marriage lessons and stories.
These will be our cherished and honored community Marriage Mentors! We’ll find our good examples and role models, by golly.
And that’s where you come in!…
Are you or your parents wonderful examples of how to live a successful married life?
I’d love an interview for our community’s edification and inspiration.
Please reach out and let me know why you think you/they are wonderful candidates to set up as some of our community’s Marriage Mentors and Wise Elders.
Come and join us, inspire us, and be reminded and inspired yourself every day as you learn how to leave your own little corner of the world with another great legacy of love… just like your wonderful parent has for you!
Together, we’ll all learn how to re-parent ourselves to grow and transform into the calm, confident, wise, patient, responsible, brave, honest, and loving adult marriage and career success stories we were always meant to be.
Til next time, Sunshine, I wish you love!
Hasta la Pasta + XOXO,
