My inner parent can still be a real sob at times, while the inner child tends to run a bit hyper in an attempt to overcompensate. The inner adult hides in the shadows too much instead of stepping up and running the show like he should, the damned slacker.

I really do have this internal dialogue running 24/7, the problem is I can't get everyone on the same page most of the time.
