Problems With Relationships

Have you ever had a problem with someone, which caused discomfort in your relationship and made you wanted to keep your distance from that individual? I think we all have experienced that type of situation.

My Mother’s Wisdom and Metaphor

My mother created her own axiom for dealing with those circumstances. She would simply say, “I am feeding (him, her or them) with a long spoon.”

I love the metaphor. My mother’s sage advice worked well for her and has always worked for me in my personal and professional relationships. When family members and friends use my mother’s wisdom, they give her attribution for her adage and tell me, “I used your mother’s long spoon advice.”
