I was pleasant, smiled, and wished her a good day. That's who I am.
Be consistent. You wouldn't trust a dog that growled at you one day then showed his belly the next.
I think this way is better though.
right, I'm not showing my belly, just being less 'cold'.
She has been angry most of the time now. Last night I mentioned that I was going to watch one of our favorite shows and would she like to watch with me and she said "No, I'm going upstairs to read" in a huffy tone.
During the night she seemed to be awake occasionally, unlike the previous night. At one point she moved and her foot touched mine and she pulled it back immediately.
This morning she came into my office, I was pleasant and she told me her schedule for the day, very quickly and in an annoyed manner. Didn't make eye contact with me but looked away instead.
A couple other interactions later were similar. Our D12 has been having trouble with her history class and is not doing her homework. We were supposed to check up on her but W didn't over the past few weeks so yesterday I said I'd E_mail the teacher and she thought that was good.
Well, the teacher said that we need to follow up and check up on things. So I said I would be more proactive to him. When I told W about the e-mails and said "She needs to have her stuff checked every day and I put a reminder in my scheduler so I'll take care of it."
She got mad and said "WE'LL take care of it." Then went on to tell me how she can't check her homework if D12 doesn't write down the assignments from the board.
I said "Ok, we'll work together, I wasn't saying that we wouldn't and I understand that she doesn't write down the assignments. I'll e-mail him daily and ask what the assignments are".
Lot's of anger in her. She went for a walk and when she came back she told me how nice it was over at this park we live near and I should go see the waterfalls and stuff.
