Suz,

Can you post this to the board.

BOUNDARIES MINE YOURS.

What would you do if the following happened:

You told your child to do something, the child decided to do
something else first, you asked her three maybe four times using the
broken record technique.

Then your husband/wife intervened and said to your child,
"Go to your room, I am not having you ignoring your mother".

You were left feeling angry because the person triggered a helpless
feeling within you.

You tell your husband/wife you were handling things, they say
"I won't sit back whist xxxxx, treats you with disrespect, she/he'll
be running ring around you next, when I am not here."

Has this person step over your boundaries???

I felt angry because and frustrated with myself because I wasn't sure
what to do??

What could I have done that would be effective???

How would you handle this, so that you were being respectful to your
husband/wife?

Also how could I handled this so I was respecting my child???

I hope someone posts as I am feeling very frustrated as this happens
alot of times.

Thanks
Theressa
