Out of the Dark and into the Light.....

[Jimbo]

I still hold to my child development theory of MLC.

I think we have the same theory.

Missed my point, maybe?

For you yesterday, the good and bad, was yesterday, and you cannot afford to let yesterdays good/or bad expectations affect today.

Yes- did miss your point, but agree with it nonetheless because of mine.

I agree that (for me and my sanity) I can't afford to let yesterdays good/or bad expectations (or results) affect me today. But I also must keep in mind that (for my R) on some level I am affecting her for good and ill in the aggregate, but that it's a sliding scale- "bad stuff" (as perceived by her) gaining more weighted points than "good stuff". If the "good stuff" outweighs the "bad stuff" then she needs to create more of the bad to outweigh the good and justify her behavior to herself.

I just need to shine and overwhelm her with good stuff, while playing her game by her rules!
