[QUOTE="Star*, post: 458126, member: 4964"] Effective communication is crucial [like Daisy Face stated] If I say to someone or am even ASKED when in a 'snarky' mood - Star, can you (insert request) today? - Snarky Star can come back with - "Wellllllllllll of COURSE I CANnnnnnnnnnnnn, I can do anything, I can do tons, and tons and TONS of things, I can do fifteen freaking things at once - watch me - HA I'm soooooo doing it now - and now you ask me CAN I do one MORE thing....OH SURE.......sheesh." Phrase that same question to Snarky Star with a WILL YOU and you cut my sarcasm pretty much off at the ankles leaving me with a yes or no response. To which you can reply with your own further request for a later date, ask someone else, or make arrangements Star WILL YOU (insert activity here)? WILL I (activity?) [Snarky star thinks about being overburdened, tired, and not really wanting to do (activity) and reviews her schedule mentally....rearranges a few tasks then responds} Yes, I will, but it will have to be tomorrow. Just like Daisy said ----------DELIVERY and EFFECTIVE communication that we are NOT even aware of can make or break how we get people to do things FOR or AGAINST us. EVEN difficult children..... I have said it 1000 times here -----READ THAT book I recommend - How to talk to children so they will listen and how to listen to children so they will talk.......the things that seem so common that we ALL say every day in speaking to each other - EVEN COMPLIMENTS or ENCOURAGEMENTS.......can be PUT DOWNs without us even knowing it because we've heard them for so long, from so many others that it's just bad habits we're not even aware of. This book gives examples of ridiculously simple everyday things we say to each other thinking we're being uplifting and we're tearing each other down and don't even know it. Once I started communicating with Dude using the hints in this book? I got IMMEDIATE results for the better. As far as DF? Well......I'll just say a work in progress. Like a 12 year sonata.
