Motherly Advice

As a Mother I hate to see my kids or grandkids stress. Whether it's over their health, school, money, friends, the economy, jobs or life in general.

I recently gave my daughter some "good advice" when her husband was having an extremely stressful week at work. I told her to be sure & watch his blood pressure, that he tends to hold things in & that they should check it the next time they made a trip to Wal-mart.

Well, my daughter & son-in-law were visiting with his family, & his sister was taking all their blood pressures. Jessica called to give me the results...Jon's blood pressure was fine! Well within the normal range. Jessica's on the other hand...was well above normal! Her blood pressure was about 140 over 100. I guess his stress was stressing her out! Boy, was I off! (She got that from her Daddy)

Even though my advice was a little off-the-mark, I guess it still helped bring a problem to light! I'll still give my "motherly advice" when I think it's needed!
