Ah, boundaries – those invisible yet formidable barriers that define our kingdom and protect our sovereignty. As we navigate the royal court of life, it is imperative that we, true lions and lionesses, honour the ancient motto of Edinburgh Castle: “Nemo me impune lacessit” – Nobody offends me unpunished.

Picture this: you, the sovereign ruler of your domain, graciously bestowing kindness and thoughtfulness upon your beloved spouse. Yet, time and time again, they trample over your offerings, their ADHD fits akin to a tempest in your tranquil kingdom.

Now, my fellow monarchs, let us not be swayed by the winds of resentment or the shadows of doubt. Instead, let us stand firm, our crowns gleaming in the sunlight, as we assert our regal authority and uphold the sanctity of our realm.

But let’s delve deeper into this notion that we tolerate behaviour from others that we wouldn’t accept from a wayward teenager or spouse for that matter.
Picture this scenario: your teenage son or husband, let’s call him Chad, saunters into the kitchen, leaves a trail of crumbs in his wake, and demands dinner be served on a silver platter.
Would you tolerate such insolence from anyone else? Of course not! So why do we let certain individuals trample over our boundaries like a herd of wildebeests?

Now, some may argue that having ADHD or any other condition justifies such behaviour. But let me tell you, my lovelies, a diagnosis does not absolve one from the responsibility of basic human decency. Sure, we can offer empathy and support, but we must also hold people accountable for their actions, whether they’re your boss, your daughter, or your quirky neighbour who insists on borrowing your lawnmower every other day.

Setting boundaries, my dear subjects, is a sacred duty bestowed upon us by the universe itself. It is not a sign of weakness, but rather a testament to our strength and sovereignty. For we are not mere mortals – we are kings and queens, rulers of our destiny and guardians of our castle walls.

But how do we, as true monarchs, navigate the treacherous waters of boundary-setting with grace and dignity? Firstly, we must be clear in our communication, for a royal decree brooks no ambiguity. Secondly, we must be unwavering in our resolve, for a king or queen does not falter in the face of adversity. And thirdly, we must be swift in our actions, for justice delayed is justice denied.

And remember, my noble brethren, setting boundaries is not an act of cruelty, but rather an act of self-love and self-respect. Just as a king protects his kingdom from invaders, so too must we protect our hearts from those who seek to trespass upon our domain.

In conclusion, let us embrace our inner lion or lioness, our true regal nature, and let us proudly proclaim: “Piss off if your can´t treat me with the respect I have earned”
For we are not mere mortals – we are kings and queens, rulers of our destiny, and masters of our own fate.
Long live the sovereign!

I have java to sip and boundries to set.
Until later dear subjects. Until later.
