[QUOTE="LadyM, post: 335364"] Thanks, that is excellent advice. I am like you, a HEE person. When he challenges me the first thing that runs through my mind is how dare he think he has the right to say those kind of things to me, who does he think he is, and thus my response is to launch into a yell fest mostly along the lines of "I'm the mom, you're the child, straighten up or you'll be in trouble". When he hit me, we were having a huge argument (admittedly over something that wasn't worth the outcome). I don't know why I feel the need to give his arguments that kind of validity. I know I'm going to do what I want and there is nothing he is going to do to stop it. I just went in there while he was calm (right before reading your post) and hugged him and told him that even though we argue, I wanted him to know I love him. I'm going to try your technique though. I"m going to sit him down at a calm moment and explain to him that when he speaks to me, he needs to do so with respect. When he launches into one of his fits, I'll try the calm treatment. It will probably blow his mind:laughing2: [/QUOTE]
