What started making it click for me was when my mom, after 30-some years of marriage to my dad who tended to do whatever he wanted while she pined away for him to be different (and I'm not talking about any of the bad/icky stuff, just extrovert/introvert conflicts), shared that she finally realized it was HER problem. Hmmm....<BR/><BR/>I've been working on my own language in this area. I remember once saying "Your room needs to be cleaned" and then immediately thinking "a room doesn't have needs." <BR/><BR/>Yay for Scott Noelle for explaining it so concisely, and yay for you bringing it back to the fore for me!<BR/><BR/>And you just reminded me of a story - I feel another blog post a'coming!piscesgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279344142538980436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32534903.post-27490380896812675842007-12-04T22:26:00.000-06:002007-12-04T22:26:00.000-06:00AH, it's so comforting (why?) to know other poeple...AH, it's so comforting (why?) to know other poeple have scummy-mummy days.

I told them they "needed" to pick up their toys. *g*<BR/>My daughter is so good at setting me straight. She told me that they don't really "need" to, with emphasis on the "need". I wish I had my priorities as straight as she does. ;PDeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08297303119146586446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32534903.post-28278957906398187102007-12-04T03:13:00.000-06:002007-12-04T03:13:00.000-06:00Oh dear, I am so good at taking out my frustration...Oh dear, I am so good at taking out my frustration at a mess on the not my kid. I am working on not being frustrated by messes, but somehow when there is an extra child about, they just seem that much worse. When I was pregnant with my second child, Linnaea, I was really good at directing my frustration at the dog, poor thing. I've apologised, but he just looks at me with sad eyes and wags his tail.Schuylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801734082790893216noreply@blogger.com
