It's all ablazin'....

[blindsided1]

FG - I was thinking a lot about what you said. I agree...the best thing for me to do is keep my mouth shut. Sometimes it is hard...as in the case of the car seat. That is my daughter's safety we are talking about. How do I keep my mouth shut when I know he is risking her safety just to gain a point on my (by not doing what I ask). That is where it is hard. But, I can't MAKE him do the right thing. And, yes...it is disrespectful that I treat him (sometimes)like he doesn't know how to take care of her. But, that is just me...I would do that with anyone. Being her Mother....sometimes I feel (unjustified) that I am the one who cares for her best.

So, tell me....I should just keep my mouth shut. Don't sweat the small stuff. Act like he is perfectly capable of caring for her. Don't fall into his trap. And, if he calls me a name....just ignore it and walk away...don't take the bait?????

Also, can someone tell me why he is getting meaner? I don't understand it. I am not mean to him. So, why? Is it because I am the easiest one to direct his anger at?
