[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 78174, member: 3485"] Thanks you all. wife told me that difficult child started to gripe about me "rushing" her on other occassions. So in her mind not only was I expected to get her up, but to cool my heels while she takes her sweet time getting ready. wife read her the riot act about it (yay wife!). I have to catch a train to the city, and I'm going to tell difficult child that henceforth she'll have to live by the same criteria as me: I'm leaving no later than 6:55, and if she's not ready to go, too bad, the "train" is leaving the station whether she's on board or not. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Goldenguru: Turn the tables. Tell her that YOU need to be up at 4:30 am tomorrow morning for a really important meeting. That you don't want to set your alarm clock because it's an inconvenience and that YOU need HER to get YOU up. She what her reaction is... and then tell her that getting herself up is HER responsibility. End of conversation. Why Me: When you do as goldenguru suggests, have a tape recorder handy and tape her answer......I'm pretty sure she would say something like....Why should I have to wake YOU up? Keep playing the tape back anytime this arises.....</div></div> [img]:rofl:[/img] I love it [/QUOTE]
