I definitely think that's the right approach... it wouldn't be fair on the rest of us if you were perfect, but if you can try to be a little better each day then that's all anyone can really ask for and you'll be impressed with the results after a while.
Relationships are so hard, and ever evolving, especially with a little one who is growing so fast.
Hopefully your daily Hive-ing helps develop your thoughts and communication.
It wouldn't be fair on my wife either - she would have a lot of catching up to do! ;D
"Not enough time" is an excuse I think - there is time, but I am not sure if we are spending it well enough. Sometimes it feels like being hungry, but eating fast food instead of a steak and vegetables. We know we could do better and doing it isn't hard, but still...
It definitely helps me.
