[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 391233, member: 84"] I found that remarks such as these usually snapped Nichole to attention faster than anything and would snap her out of a tyraid. She'd stand there and just look at me astonished. It sent the clear message of yeah I get it you're ticked, so your mouth has to run, but hurry it up cuz I figured out ages ago you don't mean what comes outta your mouth. And honestly.........it wasn't long that I started telling her that I knew she didn't mean what she said so hurry up already. lol Or I'd use a heavy dose of sarcasm............humor.......whatever. I mostly started doing it because well..........as you know, you get to a point where you're sick of hearing the bull and you've just got better things to do than listen to them rant when they're not really saying anything. I'm pretty much the only one that can do this with her and not have it backfire and escalate the situation instead of defuse it. But it also helped me to point out to her that spouting off threats and put downs when you're ticked off doesn't do a darn thing to tell the other person how you feel. She's been working on what comes out of her mouth when she's mad for several years. I've noticed vast improvement........but she still has work to do. I did like his comment though, creative. lol [/QUOTE]
