Confused By...
If you are like me, you are often confused by many things: your significant other, your parents, your siblings, your boss, your co-workers, your friends, your work, your finances, your government....... So why do we like to find more things to be confused by for our own entertainment? Come on--Sudoku, puzzles, video games, mazes, rubix cube, even this NeoCube. So I guess we all feel so confused by life that we want something to confuse us so much that we think life is less confusing. Are you confused by that?
Confused by your spouse
If you have been married, or with a significant other, for any amount of time, you have definitely been confused by that person more than a time or two. How differently they process--verbally, internally, etc.--how they brush their teeth, how they spend money, how they drive, how the parent, how they cook, how they don't clean up after themselves, or how they do; all these things confuse you. You are confused by what they say and what they do NOT say when you are trying to communicate. And, of course, you are confused by all that body language. Is there anything that you are not confused by?
Confused by your finances
Seriously, I don't know how you can not be confused by finances. Regardless of your class in life, your finances are a mess at some point in time (if not always). We have gone from the bottom to the top and back down again, and I don't know at which point I was not confused by my finances. Right now I wish we could just divorce ourselves from the financial system entirely and eliminate one more area where I must be confused. Since that is not possible, we have tried to drop as much dependence on finances as possible and live as simply as possible so as not to be confused as much as I was.
Confused by your children
I always thought that people were being overly dramatic when they were complaining about being so confused by their children--then I had my own. I even thought I was a great parent and had a great handle on understanding my children UNTIL we adopted 2 children, including one who was almost five already. That is when I began to be confused by everything and yet I began to understand that I did not nor would I ever fully grasp the reasoning behind my children's behavior. Partially because my two adopted children, we found out later, were diagnosed with autism and partially because each child has a different personality and a different view of life which is not the same as mine which ends up where everyone is confused by everyone else. As you can imagine, in a house with two parents, four young adults/teens, and two tweeners with autism (oh, 4 girls and 2 boys in that), there is no lack of situations to be confused by.
