Are You Living with a Palm Tree Mom?

The commitments of the Palm Tree mom listed above may bring up some hurt or laughter. Perhaps you have been scarred by your Natural Palm Tree Mother, who never intended to hurt you but managed to do it anyway. Reread the list and consider the possibility that every one of her weaknesses could have a positive side in a different time and place.

We all have characteristics in our nature that clash with others’ traits. If your Palm Tree mom or Palm Tree wife could live in a world that feels like Hawaii, she’d be in her element and would never hurt anyone. Perhaps her behavior offends you because her world falls far short of paradise.

May I introduce you to the world she was created for and dare you to make a space for her to share this world with you, even for just a few hours? Life can’t always be ideal. However, with a Palm Tree, a little bit of paradise goes a long way to create a new dimension in your relationship. You may even enjoy it there. She’d want you to know:

I’m a happy Palm Tree in Hawaii when

You give me room to explore and experiment. Don’t spoil it for me with warnings and predictions. The surprise outcome—good or bad—is what I live for. I will learn from these experimental mistakes, not from articles or books about the issue.

You let me enjoy the spotlight without accusing me of being conceited or trying to impress your friends. From the spotlight, I can get a positive message to more people. I’m after that, not the applause and adoration.

You allow me regular visits to exciting places full of action and possibilities. You can stand on the sidelines if you don’t want to swing from the chandeliers with me. Just smile and wave. You’ll be my hero for giving me an escape from my dry routine.

You allow me to make you happy and spoil you a little (okay, a lot!). Don’t check the price tag or bring up inflation when I go overboard with a gift. I’m a bargain hunter, so I probably got it on special anyway. If not, I’ll save us a bunch of money elsewhere with my charm.

You steer me away from temptation and danger without preaching at me. I can hear and follow your advice when it is given kindly. The more you tell me stories of gloom and doom, the more curious I become.

You give me little notes, pictures, and handmade gifts. These convince me that you really like me. I need to be liked, not just loved. I need to know I make you happy, and proof helps a lot.

You allow me to express my passion and excitement without pretending you don’t know me. I will make an effort not to embarrass you, but look at the faces of the other people in these situations! They’re laughing and smiling. I like doing that to people.

You dream and fantasize with me.
