I saw two telly programmes that stuck in my mind last week – one was 'Brat Camp', where a truly horrible teenage girl was truly horrible to her mum, and the second was an episode of 'Charlie and Lola' (hey, it's my daughter's favourite!) where a bickering Charlie and Lola end up deciding to be nice to each other, and say "Yes!" instead of "No!" all the time.
Both shows got me thinking how easy it is to get annoyed with members of your family – mainly 'cause you're stuck with each other full-time – but how depressing and boring it is to live in an atmosphere of constant bickering. So if you find yourself sniping at a family someone, or they snipe at you, why not try being nice, and see how it goes? At best, you could get along a whole lot better, and at worst, your niceness might confuse whoever's driving you mad, which could be pretty fun!
Yours, nicely,
Karen McCombie :c)
