Quote: 3) taking the inititive of taking pictures and making sure W was in them - this kind of thing is REALLY important to her and she's always sad that she's not in the pictures 'cause she takes them. I usually find all the picture-taking annoying, but I know it's important to her so I took charge of it.
As this is a HUGE issue for me, too, I want to highlight it for you, Bill.
I, too LOVE having photos, I treasure them, and YES I like some of them to include ME!!! I have noticed a pattern in my R in which I have to ASK CJ to take pictures of me.
We brought the camera to our halloween party too, and the only shots that were taken with it were two I ASKED CJ to take of me holding my pal's Cat (I was dressed as a cat)...
I want to COMMEND you on doing this act of service for your W, especially since it's not really something you love doing.
CJ prides himself on being a good photographer, even has a digital camera (gift from me) which he never uses anymore.
Bill, is your Wife happy about how she looks? What do you think about offering to take some "art" photos of her? This is a personal fantasy of mine.
That CJ would be interested enough to WANT to take good photos of me, serious ones, face shots, perhaps some tasteful body shots with drapery....
Shots that she can hang on to, maybe some won't be for sharing!, but it is SUCH a great way of showing love and appreciation, and given what she's said I think it might just really do something for your W!!!
Quote: I'm slipping back into bad habits. Staying up late and getting up late, so W ends up taking care of the boys more often in the morning.
Not great (you KNOW I can sympathise, right??? )...but WONDERFUL little behavioural reminders...at least you SEE this pattern and are working to change it!!!
