And if what's happened in our culture is we're constantly collapsing that,

At times, it's nice that I don't have to go to Blockbuster.

Don't get me wrong.

It's not like I'm crossing my fingers for Blockbuster to come back.

But if that's happened to our kids and to us as adults, of course, it becomes scarier and scarier to tolerate frustration because it's almost this rare bird that comes along and we haven't learned how to manage it.

It's such a fantastic question.

And I think there's, quote, manufacturing frustration.

And then there's trying to be more mindful of the times you're just not removing it.

So good example.

I remember a couple of years ago, we were going to one of my kids' soccer games.

And one of my other kids said, can you please get me a play date?

Like, no offense, this kid hardly ever even plays.

It's true.

Very, very below average soccer games.

Do you know why I think it is so important to not always, even if you can, have that extra babysitter?

Because it's so important for kids to learn the weekend is not just about your pleasure.

My job isn't maximizing your personal pleasure at every moment of the weekend.

Do you know why we're going to go to your sibling's soccer game?

It's actually because learning that you don't always get what you want

learning to find enjoyment.
