[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How was DL from spouse’s perspective? All my teacher friends reported that this was basically the year from h***. Could it be that he started the summer burnt out? Of course, it’s July now, but if he started the summer with a bad screen habit, it’s so easy to just keep floating along. Moreover, it may not have clicked that he’s had enough time because he doesn’t feel rested yet. I would approach him with a problem-solving attitude.[b] “What do you need to happen to feel fully-rested?” will get you a lot farther than “ Stop farting around.[/b]”[/quote] OMG! She’s not his mother and he’s not 5. This is a conversation that would be insultingly infantile even for a tween, I can’t imagine talking to my DH like that. In my house we have the expectation that we married adults. If my spouse was choosing to act like a toddler, the appropriate response is “WTF?” not “Ill hold your hand while you cross the street - do you want your binky, too?” [/quote]
