It’s probably the hardest part of being a LBS. But trust me, one day you just won’t care.

I understand. And I certainly did not interpret your comments as having a go at me at all.

I have good days and bad days. I don't show my frustration or anger in front of her at all, regardless of whether the day is "good" or "bad". I won't even mention the things I've overheard. When something happens that riles me up, I vent it here or find something else to do. That's on a "bad day."

I do imagine myself (usually on a "good day"), at some point in the future, looking back and saying, "Why was I so hung up on staying with her? I can do better than her."
