Judy and I wrote "She Says, He Says" from 2008 to 2017 with the intention of passing on lessons learned to our children with their growing families. That effort ended with the 2016 election. We got sidetracked by politics, the pandemic, and war.
Now that our grandchildren are marrying and beginning their own families, we’ve decided to refocus our posts on this blog and on social media posts to family issues.
In that process I took time to read and consider the 334 posts that started in Oct 2008, when we began "She Says, He Says," and to a degree I relived our documented challenges and concerns. Although a lot has changed in our world, having children and raising them continues to have a recognizable structure.
For Judy and me family life takes center stage. Deciding when to have children (Have a Baby - posted 5 Apr 2015), what constitutes successful day-to-day life (Women Are Powerful -- We Create the Culture - posted 17 Oct 2016), and how to help little children take responsibility for their lives, beginning with issues like staying in bed and getting to sleep at night (Solving Bedtime Problems - posted 12 Jan 2016) is the nitty-gritty of developing families. It's what matters most right now.
So now Judy and I will restart "She Says, He Says", which has been sitting idle since January 2017). In our Facebook posts we will reference the longer posts in "She Says, He Says" because they are more appropriate to a blog.
It is true that this blog already has many past political posts, which are what sidetracked us from what matters most in the first place. But from here on our focus will be more on family life.
