The one thing I adore about my boyfriend is that he has taken the time to “break down my walls.” I am a private person and find it difficult to share my personal side with everyone. We have talked about how everyone always says Hi, how are you? As a greeting. But not everyone sincerely wants to know how you are. This article is preaching to everyone to not be the person who just says hi how are you, and not really wanting to know how you are. But to be the person who really pays attention to whoever they are saying how are you to. The most significant people in our lives are the ones who really take the time to get to know us. And most people, need people like that in their lives. In the end, my boyfriend has helped me learn a lot about myself and has taught me to actually be confident and pay attention to myself. I know there is probably more personal interactions that go on in greetings than meets the eye, but I feel like our society hasn’t reached that point yet. Being person and actually paying attention to someone is a wonderful thing, it usually makes someone feel better emotional wise.

1. You get excited when the parents purchase season passes to the pool.
2. You've become friends with the stay-at-home moms in town.
You may just be the nanny, but that doesn't stop the other moms from wanting to include you in their gossip sessions or carpool rotations.
3. You get a chance to eat "kid foods" again.
4. You've traded in your cute purse for a large tote bag.
The only type of bag that can hold a plethora of snacks, sand toys, and extra clothes for the kids to change into after they swim.
5. You have at least one car seat in your backseat.
You've been given the extra booster seat for running errands with the kids during the week. Next thing you know, it's Saturday night and your friends are laughing over the crammed backseat, car seat and all.
6. Their nap time is your happy time.
If you can somehow manage to get all the kids napping at the same time, major props to you. Now you can enjoy a few hours to yourself (or maybe even take a nap of your own!).
7. Lunch time can be a disaster.
When they can't agree on a meal or when you don't make it exactly like their mom does...
8. You have to play the same board games repeatedly.
9. You catch yourself using the same lines your parents once told you.
When you ask them to clean their room and they ask "why?!" you can finally reply with "because I said so," just like your mom would say to you.
10. Your "mom-mode" kicks in at times.
Forcing the kids to wear sunscreen while they play outside is such a motherly thing to do, and you love it.

The most stubborn creatures of all time.

Saddles, bridles, and boots, oh my!
9. When someone tells your horseback riding is not a sport
You try sitting on a one-ton animal with a mind of its own and tell it to jump over a 3-foot fence!
10. Having your horse as your best friend, and having it any other way
Horseback riding is something every little girl dreams of doing, and I know it is something I will do for the rest of my life.
