I'll Do Better Tomorrow - The Virtue of Patience

You’re one eye-roll away from losing it.You’ve called their name four times.You’re hot, tired, and absolutely done. And then patience changes everything. In this Friday episode, Justin and Kylie share two small choices that create big connection: making time for the people marrying into your family, and holding your nerve long enough for your child to come to you. Because when we slow down, relationships grow. KEY POINTS Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity. Time invested now shapes future in-law relationships. Kids often need space to process before they respond. Patience prevents power struggles and invites cooperation. Small messages of love spark big moments of connection. Even eye-rolling kids still want us in their world. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Patience got us there.
