OK parents: should kids learn to say, 'I'm sorry?'
Well, the parental input from that recent "spanking" thread was so interesting, I thought I'd throw a new child-rearing issue out:
A friend recently told me she'd heard a speaker on parenting say that while his children were growing up he never made them apologize to others. His rationale was that too often he felt his kids would mutter a perfunctory, "SORRY" only because they knew they had to, not because they actually meant it or felt any kind of remorse for their actions; he felt it was more important that children learn to identify their feelings around their actions rather than simply comply with a behavioral expectation.
Do you agree? Disagree? See both sides? I'd love to hear perspectives...
I probably wouldn't like his kids. Manners don't come with age, (my exMIL would be a good example) :p they come from learning. Parents should teach their children to respect others feelings, and part of that is saying sorry when you've done something wrong.
Does a child ever mutter a "sorry" because they have to? Sure they do, but a good parent will eventually teach a child why they have to say "sorry" so that eventually when said, it will be with their heart.
And if you don't think perfunctory "sorry" isn't an issue for any age...ask anyone who's married :p
I hope as an older parent (baby at 41) I'm smart enough to avoid those goofy speakers! It's much like one I heard who said saying "no" was a bad thing. For gads sake...if you don't give kids boundries they go nuts! My girlfriend and her husband tried the "don't say no" with their first child...until she was about 11 months :p then reality set in thank God!!!
Oh Good Grief. I wonder if the speaker instead is modeling ''I'm sorry'' behavior to the kids, or thinks perhaps as a parent they don't have to say it themselves? Does that mean the speaker's kids shouldn't ever need to hear ''I'm sorry'' either? You can't have it both ways. I agree completely with igloochic...I probably wouldn't like the speaker or their kids. (I hope no one paid $ to hear that idiot speak.) It's obvious that person doesn't have grown children or any experience as a parent for that matter.
What I do as a parent and a teacher is to try to "set the stage" for the expected apology by asking questions of the offender. "Jason, I know you thought that was really fun, but look at David, did you realize that he got hurt when you crashed into him? Look at him!" That often illicits the desired response. If a child is cocky or stubborn at that point, I might give them a time out (missing the next activity) to think it thru.
If two kids are "hopping mad" at each other, I will try to referee the situation, acknowledge the feelings involved, but at some point say "Now can you say "I'm sorry" to each other?"
I think it is quite lacking to simply ignore the need of an apology because the child doesn't "feel" like it, on the other hand, I respect the process of helping them understand why it is needed.
We teach our children to use many words that take time to fully grasp. Please, thank you and sorry are just a few.
By excusing the child from apology, it seems the speaker is condoning what could be aggressive behavior based on impulse. The focus should be on teaching the child forethought and process, which the speaker is seemingly precluding.
Kids do a lot of things by rote or against their will simply because the parent or adult makes them. THAT'S HOW THEY LEARN. People are not born knowing how to behave. And expecting a two year old or four year old to get in touch with their feelings is ludicrous. At that age, their feelings are completely selfish, it's all about "ME". One of the main aspects of our job as parents is to teach our children to understand how their actions and words affect others. And saying sorry, whether the kid means it or not, goes to that education.
Would this guy have kids "learn to identify their feelings around their actions rather than simply comply with a behavioral expectation" in every situation? What about when the child wants to cross the street without looking or holding the parent's hand? I bet they could identify their feelings pretty quickly when they got hit by a car! Ok, an extreme example, but kids have to learn about how to get along in the world, and saying sorry, whether they mean it or not, is definitely one aspect of that.
Oh and by the way, I'm a firm believe in parents apologizing and admiting they're wrong when they are. I've done that with my kids since day 1. Just the other day, I falsely accused my son of misplacing a tool. I couldn't find it and finally gave up and I was sure he'd done it because he tends to put stuff in his room and forget about it. Days later I found the tool where I'd left it. I immediately apologized to him and admitted I was wrong to accuse him with no proof. He's 16 and can be defiant at times, so he could have easily taken advantage of the moment to push his agenda and insist I no longer find fault with his actions. Instead he just said, that's ok mom, no one's perfect. A lesson I don't think he could have learned or readily admited at age 16 had he not been raised with "sorry" as part of the way we treat others.
I'd be very interested to know if this guy
1. has kids
2. if so, how old are they
3. and how do these kids behave
One thing I do know, coming up with a ridiculous theory like this probably does get books sold and speaking engagements. Whatever.
That is one of the most foolish notions I have heard of in a long time. The speaker the OP talked about is an idiot.
The best way to teach your children to say "I'm sorry" along with Please, Thank you, I'm so sorry for your loss, etc., is to use those phrases yourself.
Nota Bene - phrases like "Thanks for the turn signal, a**hole!!" are picked up just as easily.
Amazing what the little scamps will pick up.
I'm always surprised what passes for informed child psychology these days. One final note, the speaker stated what was important was the child identifying her feelings. . .
Has that EVER been an problem for a child? That is the essense of being a child. Sheesh.
LOVE these answers! You gave me some reasons I hadn't thought of, and that just reinforce my initial thoughts about it.
igloochic - you're so right...apology does go a long way in a marriage, perfunctory or not - and if the kids are going to pick up our habits, might that not be a good one?
Claire - I agree: I wonder how his kids would feel if treated this way?
jubileej - I like how you take both the behavioral and the emotional into consideration - I'm sure your students are blessed
paulines - that is a great point you make about this being a way to help kids learn process & forethought. I hadn't put it in those terms before, but it's so true, I think.
lowspark - what a great reminder that we parents are the best models...I appreciate your story, and I'll bet your son appreciates you (defiant as he might be!).
doc - though it's a serious point, your "nota bene" has me laughing. And I like your point that children are probably better than adults at being in touch with their feelings.
My thought had been along the lines that an approach like this is so child/"me" centered that it doesn't take into consideration that there's another person for whom we might be responsible. I see signs of an increasingly narcessisitc generation of kids, and this is just one more of those signs, and the "apology optional" approach seems to only reinforce that the only one who matters is "me" - but does that help my child learn to live in a society with others? Hmmm...
Your comments were so helpful, as I'll probably revisit this idea at some point in the future with my friend. She wasn't sold on the idea either, but I could tell she was seriously considering it (and noticed that just a few moments later didn't make her child apologize for hurting mine). Thanks so much for your great input and insights!
This is just another example of why things have gotten way to "child centered". It's all always about the kid.
He must have raised my DH. He never apologizes for anything. Ever. Drives me crazy. He was also raised to think the sun rose for him. Sort of gen-Me born in the baby boomer generation.
There is a great book called, "Talk to the Hand", about manners and polite discourse. It explains that we expect certain things from other people. When we hold the door we expect the other person to say "thank you". When they don't we feel cheated. The same thing happens when people brush by other people ("pardon me") or accidentally step on someone's foot ("sorry"). Waving "thanks" to someone when they let you cut into traffic. Etc.
There are some things you just DO to keep it all civilized.
Hmmm. I dunno. I have never *forced* my daughter to apologize on the theory (which the speaker probably had) that a forced, insincere apology just teaches a child to lie. Yet, my child (now 13) has always apologized nonetheless. She was born pretty empathetic and has high social and emotional intelligence. Unlike the rationale the OP described, I think it is more important for the child to understand the OTHER person's feelings and perspective, not so much his or her own. I have always apologized to my kid when I made a mistake; perhaps that has helped, too.
I think most kids know when another kid's apology is insincere and that the kid really isn't sorry but is looking for the first opportunity to retaliate. JMHO.
There are so many things that parents need to instruct their children about that don't come naturally. That's why it's called "Training a child".
As my children got older, I tried to at least patiently wait a moment to see if the right and kind response came out of my child's mouth before I nudged with, "What do you say?" or "You need to tell your sister you're sorry you hurt her" or "What do you say to the nice lady?" I work at a bank now, and do hate it when parents want to jump in with "Say Thank you" or "Say Hello" when the child hasn't even had a moment to react. Parents CAN prod too much. Each one of my 3 children chided me more than once for jumping the gun.
But whether the "I'm sorry" comes from remorse, a full heart, or simply parroting the Mom/Dad, it is necessary. It's necessary to Teach your child the right responses so that they will come naturally later in life.
This is kind of unrelated, but my family has attended religious meetings 3 times a week throughout my children's entire lives. When they got to be a little older, maybe 7 or 8 or even as young teens, I started noticing that they were always having a great time with their friends afterwards, talking, laughing, and walking up and down the aisles. That's good. I want them to WANT to be there. But then I added a level.
On our drive TO our meeting, I reminded them to behave, but I also told each one that he/she needed to go up to at least ONE person that they would not normally talk to, someone older........not necessarily an elderly person, but someone grown up, and say at least one thing to that person. I told them that I would ask them who they talked to on the drive home. (Later, I would add a person........you need to say Hi and visit for a moment with two people after the meeting...)
Well, they were all "I don't know what to say!" "Why do I have to do this?" etc. for a while. But you know what happened? On the drive home, each one would excitedly tell me about talking to Old Mrs. Hurst or Old Mr. Brown. They would tell me how they went up and said "How are you??" and then, Old Mr. Brown would smile and chat with them. They sometimes got Miss Pearl who would give them candy or a hug. They eventually did not have to be expected to chat with older ones. Why?? Because they enjoyed the response so much that they did it on their own.
Over the years, I have received so many compliments on my children for their willingness to talk to all people, to greet warmly, and to offer assistence in little things. None of the three really remember HOW they got to be so popular with everyone, they all three think they are just naturally nice and kind people. But Training a child to do something that is right and kind is never wrong. Hopefully, it will become embedded in them forever.
I have always apologized to my kid when I made a mistake, perhaps that has helped too.
Absolutely - your modeling has been your training, ingraining the appropriate responses so that it feels like 2nd nature to her. If she hadn't picked up on that, though - I bet you would have directly taught her about it.
I have figured out the hard way, though, with my own kids that just because they are doing what they should at a given point in life (or avoiding what they shouldn't) without my direct teaching, doesn't mean they will continue that pattern later on. Better a few rolled eyes at a parent's didactic remarks than for a child to miss the point.
as a grownup, I have MANY times apologized to someone when I didn't feel sorry at ALL.
The lady who backed into me on the subway, and then demanded an apology.
The coworker who I didn't give info to becaues he was such a pain, but I should have.
Some of these people, I didn't owe an apology to, but it made the subway ride easier.
Some of these people, I DID owe an apology to, technically, but I still think they contributed mightily to the problem, or it wasn't as big a problem as they made it out to be.
But in all of them, it was important to the smooth functioning of our world that I apologize in a moderately believable manner.
Lies are important, sometimes. And just because my apology was insincere doesn't mean I was looking for an opportunity to *retaliate*--it just means I don't really feel sorry but know I technically should apologize.
To the hearer, there's value in that as well, I think.
I think learning to SOUND LIKE you mean it, even when you don't, is a skill that kids should learn. They'll never learn that acting ability without practice.
And, later, when we're not in the middle of the problem, I can work with them on why they should FEEL sorry.
My kids have also hurt each other unintentionally often enough that they have first-hand experience in when they want an apology even if the person didn't intentionally or carelessly do something awful, and the person doesn't need to feel lots of remorse. They just need to say sorry, as a way to acknowledge how much the other person was hurt, physically and emotionally.
And part of what you teach them, when you tell they they must apologize whether they want to right now or not, is that YOU THINK THEY ARE WRONG. If you don't make them apologize, how will you tell them that they have crossed the line?
doc is right that kids are totally in touch with THEIR feelings. The point is to teach them to be in touch with OTHER PEOPLE's feelings. And jubilee has a WONDER example of how to do this! love it! That is truly a much better approach than to simply say, "you were, say you're sorry." And I've realized that I use her technique.
But if they don't get it, or they're stubborn and WON'T get it, or they're too mad on their own behalf, I will insist. And I've been known to insist that the OTHER kid they're in the dispute with (even if it's not mine), apologize as well. In the order that I perceive the offenses were. Or the magnitude.
And I will insist that the dispute must end after the apology. (unless I feel like the point hasn't gotten across yet, but usually it has, it just needs time to sink in)
I'm in the minority here.
I teach my children to make amends - which means to try and fix. When they were little and stepped on a friends toe, we asked the friend what we needed to do to help them feel better. Sometimes the friend would say "say your sorry" and so they would. But most of the time, "I'm sorry" wasn't what they wanted, sometimes it was a turn on the swing or a hug or whatever. The rule is you MUST do what's asked (unless it's prohibitted for some reason) This is usually more involved than "I'm sorry". It's especially tough when the act was intentional (toes are the easy ones).
I feel that my boys are now so much more empathetic than had they memorized what was expected. They are 7 & 11 now, and rarely do I have to talk this stuff through anymore. They really got it. (except when torturing each other!)
BTW - I was also trained only say no when it's an immenent danger issue, otherwise it works best to tell your kids what you want them to do as opposed to telling them what not to do. When we give a negative, the child doesn't have anything to replace the act with. Instead of don't bounce the ball in the house, we would say if you want to bounce the ball, go outside. I doubt that anyone talking about avoiding no means let the kids do whatever they want.
kailuamom, I really think you are saying basically the same thing as the majority but in a more definitive way. I took this he felt it was more important that children learn to identify their feelings around their actions rather than simply comply with a behavioral expectation to mean that the speaker did not require his children to make any sort of gesture of apology, whether verbal, physical or whatever. Perhaps that's incorrect but I think that's the way most responders took it, too. If he'd said he felt it was more important that children learn to identify others' feelings, then I don't think it would have been challenged so much.
I love your parenting style, btw. In my first marriage, my husband did some really horrid things, and would later say, "I'm sorry." The behavior didn't change, though, so my motto became, "Don't TELL me you're sorry, SHOW me!" I have been raising my kids this way and feel it is a very important distinction. However, first things first! They need to learn the words and later we work on the empathy part. Then, if you are truly sorry, you must change your actions to suit your words or the apology is meaningless. This stage takes some time to reach.
I do agree with sue, though, that there are times and places when an insincere verbal apology is the better part of valor!
OK Seeking - Thanks for the compliment. I was thinking that it was a symantics thing, which happens sometimes, as a writer or speaker is trying to find their "hook" and differentiate themselves. Trust me, my kids know how to do the quick and easy sorry, they are hoping to get that out quick before mom comes in with her lesson!
Now, youre right about the DH though, that's a whole 'nother bout of training!
As I think about the speaker, it occurs to me how it is so contrary to any parenting book I've read. What I have read, is the first thing to do is focus on the wounded and IGNORE the offending party - completely. This is supposed to de-emphasise any negative attention getting behavior. The way this sounds, they are actually encouraging it -ODD!
Just chiming in again...
I realize that there may be an aspect of the "telephone game" at work: a friend told me what she heard someone else say... But she was pretty adamant that this guy made a point of saying he "never" made his children apologize (at least that's what her ears heard...). It's words like "always" and "never" that tend to perk my ears because it's so rare that any of us can make those kinds of extreme statements. The thought occurred to me, like you mentioned kailuamom, that perhaps this guy was indeed looking for a "hook" with which to differentiate himself. It's unfortunate to me, though, that what at least one of his hearers has now taken aways is the idea that "Hmmmmm, maybe I shouldn't ever make my kids apologize for anything." That concerns me.
I love the dynamic conversation around this - thanks for your continuing input!
I kind of agree with both halfdecaf an kailuamom's perspective:
first, I think that we can't really fault the original speaker because we don't really know what he said. There are some versions of what he said that make perfect sense to me, others that don't, lets give him the benefit of the doubt and not attack a "philosophy" that he, himself, has not explained to us.The original post's vesion of the speaker's words made me think of how annoying rote "sorry's" are *especially* when they've been demanded of a child, given, and then abandoned. I'm thinking of the kid who spills something at your house and never says sorry except that the parent demands they do and then...nothing...they run off and play and the parent cleans up. Or the kid who viciously pushes your kid in the park and says "sorry" when told to but then the parents and kid walk away from you and your sobbing, snot smeared child. I think we would all be in agreement that a coerced sorry is not sufficient and that an educational method that relied *only* on coercion to produce the word but not on coercion or serious practice to change the behavior would be at fault. I'd like to read the speaker's words in the most generous way and figure that he's saying that sorry alone is not enough and that we have to work, long and hard, with kids to make them the kind of people who can realize that they have hurt someone else and take affirmative steps to make the hurt right.
It sounds like kailuamom and I have the same kids, or the same parenting strategy. Neither of my children has any trouble saying they are sorry--and really meaning it. I don't mean "sorry for stepping on your toe" or "sorry for being a jerk" but like this "I'm sorry, mommy, that you are having to take me out to my friend's birthday party when you aren't feeling so well. Thank you for doing it." Or "I'm sorry that you had to make me soup and crackers (because I"m sick) when you already made a different dinner for everyone else." In other words, their sense of what they are doing, their duties towards other people, extend far beyond "don't step on people's toes" to "don't inconvenience people" and "don't take other people's kind actions for granted."
I remember another mother in my baby group with my firstborn asking me "how I *made* her so empathetic?" and I just cracked up, you can't make someone empathetic. but you certainly can work on them, and have to work on them, to make them attentive to those around them. So sure we start out, even when they are babies, saying "oh! I'm so sorry you fell down! let me kiss it" and saying to them "oh, say sorry to little dulcibella for grabbing her toy." But as they get older our strategies for working with them and modeling for them have to get more sophisticated because they are more sophisticated. Modeling the behavior you want is the first thing you have to do but how many of us are even more self centered than our children? How many times do we demonstrate to them that we take the actions, gifts, griefs, etc...of other people for granted? IF the only "sorry"s they see are ungracious they will be ungracious. If they see their parents courteously deferring to each other, to the grandparents, to strangers they are going to learn (eventually) that "Sorry" goes a lot farther than just a word said after an incident, its a whole way of thinking about the situation and the other person.
If you are still ordering at ten year old, or a fifteen year old, to say sorry you need to rethink your educational strategy because its not working. By the time they are fifteen most social behaviors should be pretty well engrained--or else they are rebelling against them for reasons that need discussion and airing. At that point they are also old enough to experience the natural consequences of failure to observe social niceties, as well as failure to be empathetic. If you are a jerk to your cousins or your friends, well, they won't play with you. If you are a jerk to your older relatives or older people, well, they won't do whatever things you've been counting on them to do. If a ten or fifteen year old kid behaves badly and doesn't say they are sorry--or even behaves selfishly and seems unaware of it--then just forcing them to say sorry (though it may be necessary) j ust isn't enough. So I guess I'm saying that I can see situations in which the original speaker is absolutely right--of course if he really said what was described I think he's an idiot. But there has never been a shortage of idiot motivational speakers.
With my kids I used a technique along the lines of "How do you think (..your action..) made (..the offended person..) feel?" "What do you think you should do about it?" As a result, all 4 are very empathetic and considerate adults.
I don't ever remember making them say they were sorry. If all the response of a parent is to force an "I'm sorry" from the mouth of a child without any attempt to actually make the child feel sorry for their actions, then I would agree that it is a very poor parenting technique.
What the speaker seemed to be advocating was not neglecting the situation, but discussing it with the child. I hope this was not just to clarify the child's own feelings, but also the feelings of the other person.
Hi Sharon -
We've used a process very similar to yours with our kids since they were small, and, usually, they get it. I see them becoming very empathic as they grow. But there have been times when - for whatever reason - they just haven't wanted to "play along" and have simply refused to answer those questions. That's when - for both children's sakes, we "force" them to apologize. We want to impress upon them that if they're going to be in community with others, they have a responsibility for their actions toward those others they're around; and even if it doesn't suit them to apologize in that moment, they may need to look beyond their immediate wants and consider what another person needs.
I think it's intersting that this friend of mine who told me about this speaker was particularly impressed by his apparent use of the word "never" in terms of requiring apolgies for his children. Then, just a few minutes later, her daughter said something mean to my son (they're 6). He stepped up and told her that she'd hurt his feelings and made him feel sad, but she never apologized. Her mom went through the whole litany of trying to help her understand how her actions affected him, and she may or may not have been tracking; but in the end, this child simply said, "No! I'm not saying I'm sorry!" and stomped away from her mom to do her own thing. And that made my son feel even more hurt. But her mom just sat there and did nothing. Yesterday this little girl came over asking to play with him, and he said he didn't want to. Perhaps this "logical consequence" might teach her something ("if you aren't nice your friends won't want to play with you"), but I really do think the mom had a responsibility to teach her daughter that when you live in community with others, you sometimes have to just "suck it up" and apologize, even if you aren't feeling the empathy or remorse in that particular moment.
I know for me apologizing even when I don't feel particularly remorseful (or think I have a perfectly good excuse for saying/doing what I did) can be a good personal discipline, and have discovered that sometimes though my apology to someone may not start out coming from the heart, over the course of the apology I see how it affects them in a healing way - and that has a way of softening my own heart...
Halfdecaf, the last paragraph of your post above, ("I know for me apologizing even when I don't feel particularly remorseful...") is extremely timely and to the point. You can "discipline" yourself, to think and feel as you should. I've experienced this myself and know it to be true.
Good wording on your part.
As a public speaker, I can say that you can blame the public speaker for how his remarks were presented. If he presented in such a way that someone left with the feeling that never saying sorry was ok, then he didn't do a good job as a public speaker...or he actually did believe that.
I learned early on that you have to be very clear about getting your point across when speaking to a crowd. It's not easy but a good speaker does it. A bad one does not.

Magnolia Electric Co.'s Jason Molina Spills About New Album, Josephine
"When I walked out of the studio, I knew that we had done something important."
By Tom Breihan on May 28, 2009 at 8:00 a.m. EDT
Photo by Will Claytor
It's been nearly three years since Fading Trails, the last proper album from rootsy Midwesterners Magnolia Electric Co. In the time since that album's release, frontman Jason Molina moved to London, and touring bassist Even Farrell died tragically in an Oakland apartment fire. But the band still soldiers on. On July 21, Secretly Canadian will release Josephine, Magnolia's spare song-cycle of a new album, which they recorded with engineer Steve Albini. (The cover and tracklist for Josephine, along with the band's summer tour itinerary, can be found at the end of this story.)
Pitchfork spoke with Molina about the process of recording Josephine and about the tidal wave of new material he's already recorded. (Update: Secretly Candadian shared the title track from the record, mp3 and stream after the jump.)
JM: I guess it's been... you would call it harrowing. The writing of that record was extremely difficult for me. In typical fashion, when I finish a record, I walk out of the studio and want to start on the very next record, which is what I did. I started writing, and now I'm revisiting things that are only a few months old. It seems like ancient history but something we needed to play live. It does feel good; it's a challenge.
Pitchfork: The press material describes Josephine as sort of a concept album about the death of Evan Farrell.
JM: That's how we loosely have been describing it, mostly because people need a reference point. It's not really a tribute record. A lot of the ideas in that record were things that I had worked with Evan on a lot, and he was going to be of course a major part of the new record. I really wanted to gravitate away from the sort of Crazy Horse references because none of that was really intentional; it was just a product of being from the Midwest. I don't listen to a lot of music; I write more music than I listen to, for sure. I just wanted to try something sonically more on the minimalist side, and I think that we succeeded. And lyrically it's definitely a song cycle where I revisit over and over and over again certain themes much more than I have in other records.
Pitchfork: So it's not just about Evan? What else went into it?
JM: It's a big record about dislocation. I've moved in the last dozen years or so at least 30-some times. Now I live overseas, and the band is still in Indiana. All of this sort of happened within a few months, with Evan, with me moving from Indiana back to Chicago again for the third time, and then from there moving to London. From a guy that still doesn't have his foot in the world, I feel pretty grounded as long as I have music.
Pitchfork: This will be your first album in three years. Have you ever taken this long between records before?
JM: Actually, I recorded about six records since I finished the box set. It's just that we have to stagger the releases, or else you'll have a Bob Pollard situation where I can't even afford to keep up with the guy. So there's a complete solo record I have finished. There's an eight-song 10'' that I did that's going to be in a coffee table book of the art of Will Schaff, and I have finished another record of just me and acoustic guitar. On the one solo record that's finished, there's side musicians on it; it's not the Magnolia crew. And so I've finished dozens and dozens of songs and several projects. It's just that they have to sit on the shelf because Josephine takes precedence, and then all this other stuff can come out. I also just finished a collaboration with Will Johnson [of Centro-Matic], and that's also a full-length record. I haven't taken any time off; it's just that you don't see the stuff for sale yet.
Pitchfork: So Josephine didn't take a long time to write?
JM: No, it didn't. Regardless of what's happening in my life or recording situations or events surrounding recording, I know when to just call it quits. If it's taking me a couple months to get a solid idea of what I want the song cycles to really be about, then rather than go and fix what I think is the weakness in it, I just scrap the whole thing and start again. I don't lose any sleep over it.
Pitchfork: I just heard Josephine for the first time this morning, and musically it's a gorgeous record. It's almost a traditional country record in a lot of ways, especially the way your voice works with the arrangements. Was that something you were interested in going for?
JM: Honestly, no. Sonically, like I said, I wanted it to be minimal and I guess that's maybe one version of what I would define as minimalism: Taking out guitar solos and, if the song is only going to be 45 seconds long and it's a good song, I leave it at that. If it's going to be six-and-a-half minutes long and that's what it takes, I leave it at that. But I structured the record. We cut 22 songs for the record, and they just don't all fit. None of the tracks that didn't made it to Josephine are outtakes; it's all one big piece. But since our last release was a box set, I wanted to pare it down to what I thought was a fantastic side A and side B, and then I can figure out what to do with the rest of the tunes.
As long as you're on the topic of what it sounds like, we recorded it with [Steve] Albini again at Electrical [Audio, Albini's studio]. We've worked many times with him. We were in a big studio, and we planned a lot of days to be in there to get it right. On the first night, we finished our last show in Chicago and we went to the studio. We were just itching to play music. We weren't supposed to record until the next day, and into the wee, wee hours of our first night there we had already set up the studio and were ready to go by probably eight in the morning the next day. We recorded it all live as much as humanly possible. We all played live in the same room. The drums were there, no separation, and the vocals are all live. I'm just singing into a guitar amp, sort of 1950s-style, and I'm really proud of the way it turned out. We're so comfortable working with Steve now that we know exactly how to articulate what we want it to sound like. Although we've been making records for years, my job is just to write the songs, and sometimes it's like getting on board a ship and telling the captain what to do when you don't know jack shit about how to steer a ship. This way, I think we succeeded because the songs took reign.
I actually think sonically it's a heavier record. Where there's not more instrumentation, I just think there was a gravity in the playing. There are some extremely rocky and even what I consider sad lyrical passes in there, and I think they're fortified by the arrangements. I wouldn't call it simply your acoustic-guitar-and-voice record, which I've done dozens of, but I do think that there's something so naked about this record. It's one that I don't know if I'll ever listen to it. When I walked out of the studio, I knew that we had done something important.
Pitchfork: Was it tough cutting out all those songs?
JM: I believe in doing vinyl. As long as vinyl can still be made into a high-quality standard, I'm going to still make all my records as a side A and a side B because that's how I grew up listening to music. It came down to the fact that if you want it to sound great, you can't throw everything on there. I didn't want to belittle any of the material, since it's a solid song cycle, by saying that we have all these outtakes so let's throw them on a bonus CD; I don't want to make them orphans. I'm really excited, and I think the fans are going to be able to get ahold of that stuff.
Right now, we have so many irons in the fire with getting Josephine out and making sure that the press doesn't turn it into this maudlin thing. It's hard. The laziest writers in the world just read other people's articles, and then the lazier writers just crimp from the one-sheet. We threw things in there sometimes in the past just to prove people aren't listening to the record. You say, "This record sounds a lot like Lou Reed," when it doesn't sound anything like Lou Reed. The first week of the reviews: "This sounds a lot like Lou Reed." So what we did with this is keep all that press as honest and straightforward as I believe Magnolia is.

Now that you know what a "girly tomboy" is, I'm a super active, girly tomboy. People that get to know me recognize quickly I'm pretty content with life - in fact I'm often told that they've never met anyone so content and positive. It's not something that developed over time, I have somehow always been able to roll with the punches and make the best of any situation. My mom is the same way - maybe it's genetic, maybe it's just how I was raised. I love being silly and making people laugh, especially my two girls. Witty goes a long way in my book. I have a successful career, but feel I've achieved greater success in balancing work, being an involved mom with my 2 girls and enjoying some "me time" when I don't have them. I go to a ridiculous amount of concerts - around 30 last year. I'll take a small venue over a big one any day. I've become kind of a concert snob - if I can't see the sweat on the musicians then I'm not close enough. I love to golf, hike, snowshoe, I stay active with things like P90X and Insanity (any kind of circuit training), but I'd rather be doing something outdoors. I value my health and take damn good care of myself, but still know how to kick back and enjoy some delicious food. Love sushi! If you're confident, but not cocky, active, but not a gym rat, happy with who you are and where you are in life, drop me a note.

|Patriots position-by-position breakdown: Running back
|02.10.15 at 9:00 am ET
With the Patriots done for the season, we've got an end-of-the-year position-by-position breakdown of where the Patriots stand. We kicked off the series with a look at the special teams and wide receivers. Now, it's the running backs.
Depth chart: Shane Vereen (96 carries, 391 rushing yards, 2 TDs; 52 catches, 447 receiving yards, 3 TDs), Stevan Ridley (94 carries, 340 yards, 2 TDs), Jonas Gray (89 carries, 412 yards, 5 TDs), LeGarrette Blount (60 carries, 281 yards, 3 TDs), Brandon Bolden (28 carries, 89 yards, 1 TD), James White (9 carries, 38 yards), James Develin (3 carries, 5 yards)
Overview: The only thing constant is change, and that has pretty much been the case with the New England ground game over the last decade. Bill Belichick and the Patriots are big believers in the plug and play system, and while there are occasional misfires (like spending a first-round pick on Laurence Maroney in 2006), there are few high-level teams who get so much out of so many different backs. There's a reason why Belichick has never had a single back go for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons while working as a head coach, dating all the way back to Cleveland.
In 2014, the Patriots became the first Super Bowl winner since the 1987 Redskins to have four different running backs finish with 40 carries or more in their championship season. Part of that was due to injury (Ridley would have likely been the lead back for the bulk of the season if he hadn't gone with a season-ending knee injury in October) and part of it was personnel (Gray pretty much fell off the face of the earth after his alarm clock failed to go off and he overslept less than a week after landing on the cover of Sports Illustrated). But they were able to exhaust a number of different options in their pursuit of a steady and consistent ground attack.
Overall, the Patriots ran the ball just enough to keep opposing defenses honest (107.9 yards per game, 18th in the league) and keep the thought of play-action in the back of the minds of opposing defenses. That includes Vereen, an elite third-down option who was one of five running backs to finish the season with at least 50 catches and 50 carries, as well as Blount, who returned midway through the season after torches each of the bridges on the way out of Pittsburgh to average 4.4 yards per carry and six touchdowns down the stretch and into the postseason for New England.
Going forward, there will inevitably be more change — both Ridley and Vereen are set to hit the market as free agents. But even if one or both leave, the Patriots figure to utilize the old plug-and-play approach, as Blount, Bolden, Gray and White are all already under contract for 2015. In addition, Develin is an exclusive rights free agent, which means he'll be back as well. And Tyler Gaffney, who was claimed off waivers last summer by the Patriots, spent the entire year on the shelf because of a knee injury — he rushed for an astounding 1,709 yards and 21 touchdowns as a senior at Stanford in 2013. In the end, it should make for an interesting offseason in New England.
|Extra special: Patriots special teams has excelled under coach Scott O'Brien
|01.28.15 at 12:44 am ET
PHOENIX — Often times on some NFL teams, the special teams unit gets over looked. Not so much with the New England Patriots.
Led by special teams coach Scott O'Brien — in his sixth year in New England, but serving as a special teams coach in the NFL since 1991 — the Patriots have emerged as one of the better special teams units in the league, making game-changing plays on numerous occasions.
The Patriots' special teams group finished first in Rick Gosselin's famous NFL special teams rankings this year and finished seventh in Football Outsiders' DVOA ranking, a major credit to the work O'Brien has done with his players.
"I'm not sure," O'Brien said when asked why he's coached special teams exclusively for 23 seasons. "I'm sure I was influenced by a lot of people I came up with through my career. I've always enjoyed it as a player. I can't put my finger on it, but it's always been something I've enjoyed doing. I love the schemes, the creation of it. I don't know. I don't think it's just one thing. I've had a lot of influences on me."
New England has blocked five kicks this season — four field goals and one punt. The unit has seen three players get named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week in Chris Jones for his field goal block in the closing seconds against the Jets in Week 7, Julian Edelman for his punt return for a touchdown against the Broncos in Week 9 and Ryan Allen for his field position changing punts in Week 14 against the Chargers.
The four blocked field goals on the year was a franchise record.
"I think a lot of it has been, like I said, timing," O'Brien said. "It's a group effort no matter who blocks it. To block kicks in this league is hard to do. It usually takes more than one thing to happen to have that success, but I think these guys have always worked hard at it. You just get the right combination of the right players in the right spot. You give them a chance to have success, and they have it. It's obviously had a big impact during the games."
|Source: Brandon Bolden signs extension with Patriots
|01.09.15 at 8:50 am ET
According to a source, Patriots running back Brandon Bolden has signed a contract extension with the team.
The news was first reported by ESPN's Field Yates, who says it is a two-year deal worth $2.32 million, which goes through the end of the 2016 season.
Bolden has been a core special teams player during his three years in New England, but does have 634 rushing yards on 139 carries and six touchdowns in his three years, with only 89 yards coming this season. His best game rushing came in his rookie season when he rushed for 137 yards on 16 carries in a Week 4 win against the Bills.
The 24-year-old was signed as an undrafted free agent after the 2012 draft coming out of Mississippi.

|Brandon Bolden, Tim Wright won't be too wrapped up in Bengals-Broncos
|12.22.14 at 3:52 pm ET
FOXBORO — Despite the fact that if Cincinnati finds a way to beat Denver Monday night — which would clinch the top seed in the AFC for New England — a few of the Patriots said they don't plan on spending too much time wrapped up in the Bengals-Broncos game.
"I don't even think I'm watching the game tonight — I've actually got a birthday party I've got to get to," confessed running back Brandon Bolden in the locker room Monday afternoon. "Nobody is really talking about it. Everybody is still trying to recover from the Jets game, the war we had yesterday, so I think everybody is going to take the rest of the day to try to just recover.
"If they watch football, they do. But I don't think anybody is rooting for anybody."
If Denver beats Cincinnati, that would mean New England's regular-season finale against the Bills next Sunday at Gillette would still be in play as a meaningful contest as it relates to the playoff chase. As far as tight end Tim Wright is concerned, the focus on Buffalo is the bigger priority for the Patriots.
"It's going to be a good game," said Wright when asked about Bengals and Broncos. "[But] we're not really looking past what has to go on with the Bills — what's coming up next for us. But it's going to be a good game for them.
"[We're] just focused on the Bills."
|Brandon Bolden happy to provide Patriots 'boost we needed' in win over Chargers
|12.08.14 at 3:08 am ET
SAN DIEGO — It was the biggest play of the game.
The Patriots were stumbling and bumbling on offense and couldn't finish the deal in the red zone in the first half.
Then Brandon Bolden came off left side and blew right into Mike Scifres, blocked a punt with a thunderous thud and the Patriots were in business at the Chargers' 25. Four plays later, Tom Brady found Rob Gronkowski for a touchdown and the Patriots were down just a point, 14-13.
Momentum changed thanks to Bolden. The Patriots would wind up winning 23-14 and everyone after the game pointed to Bolden's play.
"You go into the game thinking you can block one every time it's called," Bolden said. "I think I just got a really good jump on the snap count. I don't think there was anything he did extra or I did extra. I just got off it quick."
On the play, Scifres injured his left shoulder and had to be carted off the field.
"I didn't even know he was hurt until after I made it back to the sidelines and everything calmed down," Bolden said. "I went and checked on him and he said everything was going to be fine."
So, too, would be the Patriots. The blocked punt set the tone for the defense, with Brandon Browner laying the wood to Ledarius Green in the third quarter.
"Special teams can be a big momentum shifter for any team," Bolden said. "For this team, it was that boost we needed, and when that happened everything picked up. That momentum shifted and we rode that wave, so I think we did a good job offensively and defensively after that play to stay in the ball game."
Bolden was asked after the game why he thinks the Patriots have now won 10 straight times after a loss.
"Let's just say this: Around here, after a loss nobody likes that feeling. We especially don't like that feeling, so everybody just takes it on their shoulders and says we have to go out there and do better."
|5 thoughts on return of LeGarrette Blount, state of Patriots running game
|11.21.14 at 12:12 am ET
1. In stark contrast to the nasty words that were coming out of the Pittsburgh locker room in the wake of what happened with LeGarrette Blount over the last week, on Thursday, the vibe around the Patriots was all good when it came to the newest Patriot. Special teams captain Matthew Slater called him a "great teammate," while fullback James Develin said it was "good" to have him back. Meanwhile, Jonas Gray — who likely will see his role shrink some with the addition of Blount — said he had no problem with the move, adding that the veteran is is a "great guy to learn from." As for what sort of role awaits him, it's likely he'll split duties with Gray as the primary between-the-tackles back, as well as serve as some sort of insurance policy if the stage gets too big for the youngster, or if he puts the ball on the ground at some point. It's also possible he sees time as a part-time kick returner — with the occasional exception of Danny Amendola, no one has really done much to distinguish themselves in the position. With his background last year, it certainly makes sense for the Patriots to give him a shot back there.
2. Few teams have seen the type of turnover at the running back position as New England. With the injury to Ridley, if form holds, the Patriots will have their sixth different back lead the team in rushing in 2014 over the last decade — only four other teams (Saints, Browns, Broncos and Cardinals) have had more. Corey Dillon (2004-2006), Laurence Maroney (2007, 2009), Sammy Morris (2008), BenJarvus Green-Ellis (2010-2011) and Stevan Ridley (2012-2013). And now, with Ridley on the shelf the rest of the year, this season it figures to be either Vereen, Gray or Blount. That could change again next year, as Brandon Bolden, Ridley and Shane Vereen are all in the final year of their contracts, while Blount, Gray and rookie James White are all under contract for 2015. (In addition, Tyler Gaffney, who was claimed by the Patriots this summer but is spending the year on injured reserve because of a knee issue, is still a possibility to be a part of the mix next season.) Regardless, even with all the changes, things could still change between now and the start of next season.
3. As forward thinking as the Patriots offense — and the passing game in particular — has been the last few years, there's something impressively retro about what New England might be able to do this season. If we operate with the idea that a "running back by committee" includes a team with four backs with at least 40 carries, it appears that for the second straight season, the Patriots will attempt to be the first team to win a Super Bowl using the "running back by committee" approach since the 1987 Redskins, who won Super Bowl. Right now, the Patriots three different backs reach with at least 69 carries (Ridley with 94, Vereen with 70 and Gray with 69). While some of those numbers are borne out of necessarily since Ridley went down, if Blount is able to click down the stretch for New England — and it's entirely possible he can hit the 40-carry mark, given his experience in the system — he would be a fourth. If the Patriots could take the title, it would represent the greatest cross-section of work for running backs for any Super Bowl champion since that Washington team emerged with a win in Super Bowl XXII. (Of course, that Redskins team could be discounted on a penalty, as that was a strike year and one of the backs was a scab who rushed 80 times in three strike games but never played another down. If you disqualify them on a technicality, them the last true RBBC team to win a Super Bowl in a non-strike year was the 1981 Niners, a team that had five different backs finish with 40 carries or more: Ricky Patton, Earl Cooper, Johnny Davis, Walt Easley and Paul Hofer.)
|Patriots running backs prepared to fill void left in wake of Stevan Ridley's season-ending injury
|10.15.14 at 7:00 am ET
FOXBORO — With Stevan Ridley reportedly lost for the year with a torn ACL and MCL, the Patriots have their work cut out for them to make up for his loss.
Of the Patriots' 660 yards rushing this season, Ridley has accounted for 52 percent of them — 340 yards.
There is no question Shane Vereen will be a player who will likely step up with the loss of Ridley, but his style is more catching passes out of the backfield and only run on draw plays — not be a No. 1 back. Vereen hasn't had a game this season with more than nine carries, but does have 18 catches for 114 yards.
New England will likely use all of their backs and ride the hot hand each week to make up for the loss of the fourth-year running back. Here is a look at the three other players and how they now view their roles:
Brandon Bolden
Bolden has the most experience of the three as he has 126 career rushing attempts for 570 yards with five touchdowns, now in his third season in the league. While Bolden said he hasn't been notified of a No. 1 back role, he feels he could be one if given the opportunity.
"Anybody in the league thinks that, but no, as of now I am here to do whatever the team asks me to do," said Bolden.
Bolden has played a significant role on special teams this season — securing his spot on the game roster each week — but now, because of his experience, he may soon be playing a significant role in the running game rather than on special teams.

Does anyone have experience with Eligana by Quick-Step? We saw it a few months ago when we were looking for what to use to replace the old bedroom carpeting in a house we are partially remodeling in Florida. We have no experience with laminate but it seems the best choice for the slab floor down there (we are in the midwest now).

Mary Jane King Howell
I was so pleased to see the picture you'd added of Mary Jane King (1892-1923, Mrs. D. B. Howell) to the memorial I had made for her. Since she's your great grandmother, you and I are double cousins! Mary Jane King's parents were James Martin King (1866-1946) and Heallon Mercia Beachum (1874-1930). Heallon's sister, Mary Jane Beachum (1867-1910), was married to Dulin Benson Stearns (1863-1962), who was a first cousin of James Martin King. Mary Jane Beachum & Dulin Benson Stearns youngest daughter was Eunice Virginia Stearns (1906-1983, Mrs. John L. Field), my grandmother. I have information on both the King and Beachum families going back to before the Revolution. I'd love to compare notes with you.
Best Regards,

Thanks for trying to photograph these graves for me. I'm sorry that I sent you on a fruitless search. I have deleted the memorials from this cemetery. I don't remember where I got the information that told me that they were buried there, but I went ahead and deleted them.

"Caves & Snorkeling" in Progresso?????
Has anyone taken the "Caves & Snorkeling" ship excursion in Progresso? I'm leaving on the NCL Dream on Dec. 16th. We've already signed up for it, but I haven't read anything about it on the forums. And the ship gives you so little info. We really didn't care to visit the Ruins, and this seemed like the only snorkeling option out of Progresso. I've read about the cenotes, but I don't know which ones we're going to. Please Help....
