[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You dont have to be calm and patient all the time. I have my meltdowns, everyone does. Sometimes it takes me going batshit for something to sink in.[/quote] A word of caution, OP, from the mom of a 17-y-o who has behaved intolerably for years. I agree with this poster, but make sure your spouse has your back. Mine does not. I have said things like "you're being a jerk" to our son or reacted snarkily to his rudeness. To my husband, a man who only uses "I" statements, our son is justified in acting as though I don't exist (for months! In defense of his bruised ego, I suppose). So you need to be on the same page.[/quote]
