Take your calling seriously and yourself lightly   Summary Are you taking parenting a little too seriously? In this episode, we dive into why families need to throw off the burden of “psychological correctness” and rediscover the gift of humor. Parenting isn't a project—it's a wild, messy adventure! We'll share why secure parents can laugh at their mistakes, how to set healthy limits at your table, and how to teach kids the difference between fun teasing and disrespect. Most of all, we'll remind you that your children are a never-ending source of laugh-worthy moments.  This week we're joined by the always witty and wise Dr. Ray Guarendi, who brings his trademark humor and insight to help parents embrace joy, laughter, and freedom in family life. Key Takeaways Throw off “psychological correctness”! The gift of humor has been taken away from modern parents because most parents are now overly worried about every word they say.   Parents need to take themselves lightly and stop making parenting into a psychological project.  Those parents who are insecure can't laugh at themselves.  You know you are secure when you can laugh at your mistakes and find humor in the craziness of family life.  You decide the limits are your table and teach the difference between good-natured teasing and disrespect.  Remember and celebrate that kids are natural sources of laugh-worthy material for life!    Couple Discussion Questions Are we able to laugh at ourselves and our mistakes even with our kids?  What are some of the funny things that have happened in our family?  How can we remember these?    Resources Dr Ray website:  https://www.drray.com/   Take our 2025 Listener Survey!    Everything we do here at the Messy Family Project is for couples and families!
