Dear Humans,

One thing about schooling from home is that I have more time to make my children breakfast. They used to eat at school or throw something in their faces as they walked out the door. Now, I can make them pancakes, breakfast burritos, eggs and bacon.

But they mostly choose cereal. So I pour the cereal into the bowl, grab a spoon, and pull the jug of milk out of the fridge. But I’ve learned that putting milk on your cereal is very personal. So I pour it into a little creamer and they pour it themselves.

If you’re pouring milk on someone else’s cereal, you might be being too helpful. Life together is a balance between helping and giving people autonomy.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
