Quote: Hey what about this: Next time she says Alright go to bed, why don't you counter with "Ok, what night will it be okay to do this?" What do you think she would say?
Well, now we're not supposed to base our actions on what we think their reactions will be, right? Isn't that basic PM stuff? ahem, but since you asked, I think she'd likely say "with that kind of attitude, NEVER." And that assumes, of course, that I didn't ask the question with any sort of "attitude."
As far as her treating me like a child, I mentioned that to her when she berated me last night for not hanging up a hand towel properly in the bathroom (did I mention she was kind of anal about things?). I said, "please don't lecture me like I'm a child." She answered, "I will until you stop acting like one." I was so mad I stomped my feet and held my breath until I turned blue. No, really I just kind of threw my hands up and left the room. There is no sense talking to her sometimes. She was definitely in a mood last night.
