Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

It is amazing how many adults never really made it past their terrible twos. (self.showerthoughts)

Having a child taught me so much on how to deal with bad grown-ups

I did a bunch of courses through work on working with others (and leading through influence, etc), as well as having read books like Never Split the Difference, How to Make Friends and Influence People, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, etc.

Then when I had kids I read a bunch of parenting books and the advice is pretty much the same! So much so that often they cross over, I think it was the 7 Habits book where they use examples of working with their kid to explain all the stuff about working with others.

Turns out kids are just little adults, and adults are just big kids.
