She got a bit testy, rolled her eyes and said “ that’s a great way to start a vacation “.


Oh the arrogance of a WW! Being on a family vacation when your WW is like being in a torture chamber, I would think. Those car rides with the kids hearing everything said, places you in a vulnerable position. I suggest you just try to avoid as much as possible when the kids are in hearing distance. Once you get back home, then you need to start calling her out on this type of display. Rolling her eyes at you is like gaslighting. It's her way of saying you were over reacting or it's all in your head. The W rolling her eyes is also an act of disrespect. It becomes a bad habit for some women, but it started out as a slight overt show of disrespect. Blaming you for how the way the vacation starts is deflecting the truth behind your reasons for thinking that call could have been from her AP.

But right now, I’m focused on having fun with the kids.


Right, make it all about them!


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!
