I am leaning so deep into Amiability due to these posts. It is exactly what I needed and was actually part of my Lenten plans although I did not know it to be named amiability. Please continue these!! It’s what I need the most help on! Why is there a shift in our amiability towards our children and (and husband) once the children reach a certain age???? I remember being VERY deliberate when they were younger to always respond kindly and always give them a pleasant response with a smile on my face even when disciplining. I especially remember never letting them see me upset with my husband and we never argued in front of them. Then they got to a certain age and my subconscious suddenly thought all that was no longer necessary?!? Oh what a difference in their behavior we would see had they not seen us have our own temper tantrums and respond with annoyance and grief to their small and reasonable requests!! The ONLY bad behavior/unkindness towards each other I see in my children is a 100% imitation of my own actions!! Can we have regular check-ins on amiability even after Lent? Thank you so much for this!!
