I think your post illustrates clearly Michelle's concept of "If they're not deaf, they hear you." I'm sure that your H and Mr. Wonderful heard their moms too... but that doesn't mean they have to agree with us.
But I have to say that after all this time, I like not having to be the one who has all the answers. I'm amazed that Mr. W. actually has good skills in conflict resolution! After all, he's the project manager for a really large group of people--and I always wondered how he could handle a vast quantity of petulant and petty people but not me?
I never will...
So off we go, trying to be honest with ourselves and everyone else without jamming our will into every R we have.
Have a happy Mother's Day!
