Who Needs Counseling

Ok so it is no secret here when I say we have had our fair share of marriage counseling in the Bergeron history over here lol.  And I will admit that I am a firm believer in it too.  I can't say that we loved it from day one but yes setting aside a certain hour on your schedule to talk face to face with no phones and no exiting is very much worth the money.  It took us some time to learn the rules and abide by them, but yes I do understand it's benefits now lol.  Currently we are not doing actually paid therapy, but thanks to my grandparents on my Mom's side we just had our first major counseling session for free LOL!  Brent and I after almost 10 years of marriage and 5 years of parenting just assembled a toy ( not an easy one ) with noooooo arguing or ugly words!  So Jean Paul received a race track today at our family Christmas party and man did it have a lot of pieces.  Let me clarify it not only had pieces it had screws, a catapult, a launcher a Ferris wheel with a spinney thing and stickers along with the dreaded directions that insist on being printed in black and white when obviously the toy is color coordinated.  Meanwhile this brilliant Mom decided to try and put it together with the kids involved.   BIG MISTAKE try to assemble something like that with toddlers straddling it, cars flying and parents trying to hold it all together.  I am beyond shocked that we survived this with no arguments and we didn't even have to sugar coat the bad words to hide it from the kids, we honestly worked together and got this thing done.  After the big production of letting the car run its track for the first time we couldn't help but high five each other.  And now almost 45 minutes later they are still playing with the track.  Do you know how valuable a toy like that is?????  Something that will occupy your kids for at least and hour is like GOLD to parents.  Oh and now I am wondering if we should start our own group couples therapy classes?????
