My way or the highway. . .the highway actually makes a lot of sense

I just read this article “Dad gives a beautiful explanation of why it's ok that his son mows the lawn 'wrong'” and wanted to share.  I think many people, including myself,” have “right ways” of doing things, when really, the “right way” isn’t all that important.  This is something that I learned when I got married.  I may do things differently than John does, but it doesn’t mean one way is right/wrong.  I’ve learned to accept him helping and doing things, even if they are different than I would do it.  Yes, it is different than I would do it, but he is taking the burden off of me, which I should (and do,) appreciate.

I just wanted to share this, because I think that everyone, particularly those in relationships and with children, can benefit from “learning this lesson,” letting people do things “wrong” or different that you would.
