[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 373643, member: 65"] It happened a tiny bit at a time so that I didn't even know it was happening to me until I found myself yelling out conversations I'd love to have with people while driving alone to work. (I really need dark tinted windows in the summer) As I look back, I think the first tilt in my cracker was two months into my marriage when I came home to husband on the phone with mother in law as she's chewing him out because difficult child-A isn't happy because I make him go to bed at night. Another tilt came when I was told that in no way, shape or form was I allowed to discipline difficult child-A at her house. difficult child-A sat across from me at the dinner table, put a fork full of food on his tongue, then proceeded to turn the fork upside-down so that the food went back on his plate. (just thinking about it makes my head hurt). BUT, that was the day that difficult child-A learned that he has to come home with ME and that even though I can't do anything at mother in law's house.... Oh I still Rule at MY house. His tushy was grounded to his room the rest of the weekend! The first time my little mouse hit the wall........ We were, again, at mother in law's house. She decided to dump all her rage onto me. I was trying so hard to be a good wife and respectful daughter in law.... so for 20 minutes I took all her yelling and screaming about how unfit I was, how because my Mom had done daycare for easy child, I had never learned how to be a Mom until I had her grandkids, How I needed mental help, and so on...but then she attacked easy child and I snapped. I got in her face, walking her acrossed the room and let her know that she was never to talk to me that way again and to keep her opinions to herself. And she flipped a switch, went from screaming banshee to a smiling happy person and said "I'm so glad we had this little chat." BOING!!! That was the sound my little mouse made. After that, he invested in a crash helmet! [/QUOTE]
