[QUOTE="sunxstone, post: 456607, member: 8297"] Hi MM, thanks for repyling. We've tried that, but Chris has a problem backing off. He thinks I'm too lax when I am actively ignoring the attitude, and he wants respect. He feels because of my depression that I'm overwhelmed, and oh my god I am. But Chris and I had a talk about how his way wasn't working, and we had to try it my way. He agreed, but he's still 'taking over' when my response doesn't equal what his would be. He says he needs a cheat sheet to look to, like we have all the visual aides for difficult child, the rules on the wall, his weekly schedule, the level system and how to level up, etc. I'm more laid back with a lot of stuff, maybe a little too much stuff, and it feels like he wants to rule with an iron fist. I have such a hard time doing that. So difficult child is playing down the middle. [/QUOTE]
