Know It All

My hubby teases me that I am a know-it-all. It kinda hurts my feelings but I can see why he says that. I have an opinion and advice for almost every subject that ever comes up even if it's about something on TV.
I am not a professional 'anything' obviously; not a counselor, not a childhood development specialist, not a psychiatrist, and not a life coach, etc. All I know is what I have lived and what has worked for me (and probably one too many episodes of Dr Phil and Oprah :O).
But I can't help but worry that maybe someone one day may think I am condescending...would that be the right word to use? I hope no one thinks that I may believe I have it all figured out or that my life is perfect because I don't and it is not. I am not old and wise nor have I had the kind of extraordinary life experiences you would make a hallmark movie about or end up on Oprah's couch. But I have had to learn and grow just like every other human. I have learned what does and doesn't work with my children, with my time management, with finances,with relationships. I have bought and sold a few homes, had a few jobs, survived the battlegrounds of a divorce, and kept myself from making a total mess of my whole life and I have taken a few mental notes of all the little things that have helped me get by. And obviously, as one gets older we start to form opinions and values about what is and what is not important in life. And boy how those ideas change every few years!
But more importantly, not only have I paid attention to my life but I have really listened to all the other adults around me and taken note of what has worked for them. My mom pointed out how I tend to usually surround myself by close friends that are either much much younger than I or way way older. I suppose it is because I like to learn so much from my older friends and in turn help out the younger ones.
All in all, I try my best to only share my two cents if you ask me for it and because I honestly do care about you and hate to see you struggle...unless its someone on TV, then they have to hear me out whether they want to or not!!
