I was not "attacking" you. I was trying to point out where you were doing the things I had mentioned in my previous post. I was trying to give you examples of alternative actions you could have taken.

I was not assuming. I was going by the information you had posted about the day. If you said your mother was there visiting, or that the kids joined in to help with kitchen duty, I missed it.

If you get upset at my replies, I can bow out and leave it with you. I'm not trying to upset you any more than you already are. That's not the mission here.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
