[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 274782, member: 1991"] Have you got your hands on "The Explosive Child" yet? I hear you about husband not wanting to read the books. Maybe it's a bloke thing, husband couldn't read "Explosive Child" either. And husband is really on side, very supportive, he just couldn't 'get ito' that book. So I summarised it for him, I wrote my own "book review" and also I discussed the book with husband and talked it over with him. This was actually very helpful for me because it really helped me get it straight in my head. Something else to consider - my husband first began lurking here, he would read all my posts and then we'd talk about them when he got home. Often my having put thoughts in writing would make it easier for him to 'get' what I had been trying to tell him, because what we write tends to be more condensed, more concentrated. Then I began having problems with this site (purely mechanical) and I asked husband to NOT lurk using my sign-in because it made it difficult for me to work out what posts I'd read and what ones I hadn't. So he now has a sig in his own right ("Marg's Man") and sometimes posts in his own right too. All this has boosted what we already had thought was pretty close to perfect communication. We've sorted out some big problems with the kids and communication at home is much more organised. Marg [/QUOTE]
