I've seen this a few times and I love it everytime I read it.  In a perfect world a woman wouldn't trip about any of this stuff.  As perfect as we like to apprear ladies, let's be real; we're not!  Nonetheless, this is a good outline to follow.  Don't sweat the small stuff.  Don't try to make your man do something...make him want to do it. 

Now, my grandma used to say "a closed mouth won't get fed!" So let's be clear; I'm not saying don't speak up and tell your man (or anyone else for that matter) what you want, desire, demand, etc.  I am saying don't try to force or guilt him into it.  This was one of my favorite things to do.  I'll admit I was a big brat!  If you ask 'M' I'm sure he'll tell you I still can be at times.  We're females and allowed to be sometimes right ;).  ANYWAY...I felt so out of control if I wasn't getting my way or things weren't going exactly as I planned them.  If I didn't want to do something I would pout and ruin everyone elses time etc.  It's time to get out of that mentality. 

Every female out there is always so quick to talk about being grown, and putting on big girl panties and being a woman and blah blah blah.  Ladies age doesn't make you grown nor does experience.  Menatlity makes you grown, decisions make you grown and lessons you take away from life's experiences make you grown.  I pray that every female reading this grown or not...has a woman or two in her life or has had a woman or two in her life that has guided her with love and non-judgemental advice.

Every self proclaimed grown woman out there - make sure you take on a mentee.  Shining your grown nose down on someone makes you juvenile and you should probably re-think what it means to be grown.  Guide and love one another...don't judge.
