The Irrelevant Proposal II

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelvancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. How do you make a proposal to someone who will have trouble comprehending it? You find out (or guess) what is relevant to them. In my mom's case, her main relevant criteria is that our family is happy, followed very closely by seeing someone as a productive member of society, doing everything in their power to earn more money.
I approached her by saying my staying at home benefits our entire family, not just me. I of course have less stress. So does my spouse, who doesn't have to worry about getting our kids ready or scheduling vacations around PA days or a home care person's schedule. My kids benefit from having a parent around more often. And we don't have to fork out money for home care, or any of my commuting costs, which saves us a lot.
Make your proposal as relevant to the presentee as possible.

Regards,
Irrelevant
