[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 517763, member: 1157"] A well-timed (and unplanned) blow-up can work wonders, I think. You have to pick your battles, for sure, but as Star said, sometimes we just push things down inside so long we can't take it any more and we blow. I think the fact you got an apology out of this is a good sign that you should NOT feel guilty about this. You stood up for yourself and let her know her BS wouldn't be tolerated. And yeah, my Youngest sometimes has trouble doing the simplest tasks. Recently one of them is apparently her ability to carry anything in or out of the car when she has her kids in tow. I can't tell you how many times she's asked me to "help" her carry things because she just can't pick up that empty McDonald's cup I asked her to throw away when riding in my car, or even pick up the diaper bag off my kitchen table to carry back to her own car, since she's got to get E and A in or out of the car. And then I remember all those years of learning to juggle a boatload of koi when I was getting her and her sister in and out of the car by myself... I mean, sometimes I had to make *two* trips.. shocking. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
