I don't know if "meaner" is necessary, I know that doesn't work around my house...what works for me and REALLY makes W notice is when I approach things in a VERY "neutral charge" and also works well with the kids...always a bonus

I am tired of people pushing me around, being rude and then just expecting me to smile and ask for another load of crap.
I hear you...It is tough finding our boundaries, then learning how to enforce them without coming off as mean or vindictive or whatever is yet another journey...lol...I am still walking those paths.
And then the other people have to figure out how to deal with us in a different way than they are accustomed, which can become its own dance.
Hang in there, it will come!
