When I criticize my children
I see it as a sign of caring
They take it as disapproval
and overreact
When a friend criticizes me
I take it as a gift
an opportunity to improve
and I’m grateful
Yet when my mother
criticizes me
I’m insulted
When I criticize my children
I see it as a sign of caring
They take it as disapproval
and overreact
When a friend criticizes me
I take it as a gift
an opportunity to improve
and I’m grateful
Yet when my mother
criticizes me
I’m insulted
