[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 267435, member: 6546"] KJS-- I must say, for a person who "quit"--you sure did an awful lot of work!! I think you need to go a little farther, and instead of just "quitting"....I think you need to start being a bit more demanding of your own needs. As in "[I]Hey, husband! This mattress is really heavy. I need you to come in and help[/I]!". And when difficult child says "[I]Wow! Nice[/I]!" You say to him: "[I]I think I deserve a big Thank You for working so hard in your room today[/I]!" That's right! Start telling husband and difficult child [I]exactly[/I] how you want to be treated. If you want to be thanked, you [I]tell[/I] them to thank you. If you want some help, you [I]tell[/I] them to help. It will feel pretty weird, at first......but eventually, they should get in the habit of treating you with a bit more respect. Right now, they are in the habit of taking you for granted--and that definitely needs to change! You go, girl!! --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
