Frank, don't ACT. Just BE. The only thing I'd curb is the desperation. Put a cork in that and wing the rest being true to no one but yourself.
Yeah, it sure is difficult. She is so hard to deal with because of her tone and actions. Like this morning she comes to me when I'm sleeping and 'jostles' me gently, sort of 'stroking' my shoulder and says in a 'gentle' voice "Hey you, you need to get up so you can take D12 to school. Remember that I have my talk this morning?"
It's that 'niceness' that irks me. I'd rather hear "Frank, you need to get up and take the kids to school". You know, indifferent, detached?
But she does this crap. Then she'll be detached later. And tonight she'll get more validation from her friends.
