You certainly have always done things your own way, and if that works for you, then God Bless!
One thing that I can't help but notice is how willing you are to tolerate ExH or Pilot being disrespectful, grumpy etc, and then apologizing to them all the time. Maybe something to think about.
Woo Hoo!!!
I've worked on stuffing it down and not reacting out of emotions. Sometimes that can cross the line of tolerating disrespectful/grumpy behaivor.
