If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

what would you pick & why?

(pretend you had free reign here)


I'd love my brother to have some better direction in life and take the proper steps to do so, which would stress my mother less.

I'd like people at work to be a little nicer to one another. (this goes for everywhere, though..not just work)

I wish my DH would clip his toe nails more. (NOTHING is worse to me than being all snuggly-wuggly in bed and having a giant toe claw stab you in your calf.)

What about you?

I would love for my brother to find a girl and get married

I would love for my mother to finally realize she needs to put my grandma (her mom) in a nursing home. the constant complaining and toll on her health is not good.

I would love for my father to get his stories published.

I would love it if my MIL would stop the woe is me bullshi** and be happy for once.

I wish my parents would stop thinking about only themselves.

I wish my in-laws would start thinking about themselves instead of everyone else.

I'd have my brother quit smoking, and someone who shall remain unnamed prioritize their children in the new year.

Re: If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

i seriously wish this was possible!!!

i would also like for my brother to find a wonderful person to get married to!
i would want my father to understand people and for people to understand where he's coming from.

i think thats all that i would change... right now at least LOL

ETA-- stealing this from somebody else. i also want my family to quit smoking! that would be a miracle, not a resolution.

Well, since my loss my two oldest friends (knew them since I was young) got very weird around me. I suppose they just didn't know what to say to me since it was such an incredibly sad situation... that they chose to say nothing. Neither of them call me. Ever. They think if they ignore the situation until I become pregnant again, they can finally have a reason to call me and know what to say

Anyway, my resolution would be for THEM to find it within themselves to be better, more caring friends. It really does make me feel bad to think my nearest and dearest friends have nothing to say to me simply because they can't relate. I pray they never know what it's like to go through a tragedy and feel abandoned by their closest friends.

I wish my DH would stop smoking.

I would like for my sister to resolve to stop complaining so much, get a real job, stop blaming the world for her problems and find some friends who weren't such idiots.

I would like for my mother to resolve to find the strength to make herself happy.

I would definetly pick my MOTHER.
Over the last two years she has become so Selfish and Self-Centered that it is difficult to speak with her at all!
My wish would be for her to see the damage she is doing to not only herself abut to the ones that love her the most.

awesome post!

i would wish that my dad would have better judgment in how he handles my parents seperation/divorce/relationship with his kids

i would wish that my best friends would either 1. agree to put more effort into their relationship or 2. go their seperate ways and get a divorce

i would wish that my good gf find a respectable good man, shes such a good catch!

Re: If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

I would LOVE for most of my co-workers to take a chill pill! They get so high strung and stressed out over the littlest things.

Re: If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

DH to stop smoking

My sister to wake up and realize her husband is running her life and tearing our family apart

SIL to find a man so she can finally settle down

Re: If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

I would love for my dad to begin to take better care of himself. He's too young to be in the shape he's in.

I wish my DHs best friend would stop being such a jerk and jealous of my DH. They were closer than brothers at one point and now things are horrible. It tears my DH up, but he's done everything he can to try to make it work.

Re: If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

I would have my mom quit smoking.

Re: If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

I wish my siblings (three out of the six) would stop being such azzholes and realize that there is so much more to life than money.

Re: If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

For all those that are looking for their brothers to find a nice girl...FM me because I'm looking for a nice guy

For DH: to realize he is not superman and has to take it easy once in awhile.

For Mom: not to be afraid of everything and get out a little more.

My Grandparents: to realize my Mom is just trying to help them and let up a little on her.

Re: If you had the power to "change" the people in your life for 2011...and assign them resolutions..

For brother: to grow up!! and stop being a spoiled brat.

For FIL: to stop being so selfish and stupid.

If only these wishes could come true...
