In fact, “I have a rule for X” is the only excuse you need for your own personal policies. 孩子完全接受——甚至渴望——家規(guī)?!冈谖覀兗?,我們對(duì) X 有一個(gè)規(guī)矩」是家長(zhǎng)設(shè)立家庭規(guī)范時(shí)所需的唯一理由。事實(shí)上,「我對(duì) X 有一個(gè)規(guī)矩」是你給自己設(shè)定規(guī)范所需的唯一理由。

The extras serve as backups for mistakes, reduce stress, and fill your inventory for the future. They are the cheapest insurance. 做東西的時(shí)候,總要多備上一些——額外的材料、額外的部件、額外的空間、額外的飾面。 這些額外的東西可以為錯(cuò)誤提供備份、減輕壓力,還可以為未來(lái)儲(chǔ)備資源。它們是最便宜的保險(xiǎn)。
