Big mistake Quote by Ron L. Deal
““Accept the Things You Cannot Change During our weekend visits with his kids I tried to change things, such as poor eating habits. Big mistake. It wasn’t my job. The biological mom was fine with how they ate. It wasn’t a “hill to die on,” and the battle only created stress.””
