Hey Jeff! Just looking in on my favourite Yorkshire pudding!

Do you think it might be possible to just agree with your W when she criticises you? It would be an extreme version of validating....something like

W: You made the Yorkshire puddings with wine instead of milk. That was a dumb thing to do.

DH: I'm sorry. It was a dumb thing to do. You're right.

I don't know how well it would work but could be worth a go in a small way, monitor results and then ditch it if a couple of days of it doesn't bear fruit?
