[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 279611, member: 6546"] Hi WSM-- Great thread! Thanks for bringing this up.... My husband and I don't "bicker"....but he prefers to be in denial about a lot of things. And lately, difficult child's behaviors cannot be denied, and so husband is really struggling to cope. Whenever I try to talk to him about it, he clams up. I get the feeling that he is trying to "power through it". So he is coming up with solutions that are designed to force everyone to be happy. :confused1: How do you force people to be happy? As you all know from my recent posts, difficult child was just released from psychiatric hospital with no good solution in place. I've been so upset! But husband in his determination to power through the situation actually yelled at me to "[I]Think positive!! Why can't you just be positive[/I]?!?!!" And now he has a solution to stop difficult child's nastiness toward her brother. He has decided that every time he hears a put down, a nasty name etc we are going to assign a chore....and we will just keep piling them on until difficult child decides that she would rather be nice than do chores. husband is trying to forget that it is the assignment of chores that usually leads to the biggest and scariest rages around here.... I think this whole thing is going to break his heart terribly.... I love him so much and I don't know how to help him. :frowny: --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
