<p>I believe that we “create our own nags”. When I was younger, my dad would complain that my mom would nag him about her rose bushes. My mom REPEATEDLY asked him NOT to touch her roses…don’t trim, prune, nothing! She knew the proper way to care for them and she didn’t want him “messing” with them. </p>
<p>Well, Dad couldn’t seem to keep his paws off her roses, and Mom would nag him. Finally, I told him that he was in control to stop the nagging by leaving her roses alone. I told him that he “created his own nag” by repeatedly doing something that he had been told not to do.</p>
