Never Bargain with the Boss Quotes

“I can’t even tell you what he looked like anymore, but his words echo in my head, and to this day, I still don’t wear shorts.” “I’m sorry, truly, that you went through that, but that’s not what’s going on here,” Cameron bites out. “I know,” I agree, softening my approach. “But that was an opportunity to empower Grace to decide for herself, not just declare the skirt to be a ‘no’ off-hand, when all that demonstrates is that you have zero trust in her decision-making abilities.” The accusation of what he was this close to doing is as clear as day. Cameron’s head whips back like my words are a slap. “You are not her parent. I am.” “Agreed.” And I could leave it there, but of course, I don’t. This is too important—for Grace. And for Cameron too. I want him to understand why I did what I did, and maybe understand me a bit more too. “But Grace is growing up, and part of that is learning to trust yourself. Sometimes, that starts by falling in love with a ridiculously tiny skirt that you have to perform miracles on to make work. Maybe she’ll learn to choose something easier next time, or maybe she’ll learn the work is worth it when she loves the result. And yeah, that’s a great lesson for life in general too, especially in regard to people.”
