[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 382458, member: 1991"] Well done! I hope you praised him when it was done, said something like, "It must feel really good to have all that work behind you now, and not hanging over your head. You worked solidly, that was a very productive effort." Whenever you do this, keep it positive and unconditional. Too often we have got into bad habits and we devalue the praise by saying things like, "There! Now that wasn't so bad, was it?" or "If only you had got on with the job to begin with, instead of being unpleasant!" Ignore the unpleasantness and he will begin to feel really silly every time he tries it. HE now has a bad habit or two to get out of! Marg [/QUOTE]
