Oy...I do sometimes feel like she's treating me like a child. And, although I used to lash back, and still do sometimes, I find myself being more comfortable just being cool and calm about it all. Now if I can just communicate clearly. I don't know if she'll ever 'get it,' but I have to do my best job letting her know where I stand. Thanks!
BTW, sorry Cinemanymph for highjacking your thread. It happens to the best of us.
