[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again...I readily admit I am absolutely incapable of being rude or stern or abrupt. I just freeze. My husband is always on my case about this, in many contexts. I wish I were different, but after years and years of trying, I just can't find a backbone. Also, I look very young, so I think that makes it even harder for me to be taken seriously. I admire all you DC people who are so self-assured, but what strategies can you offer a meek Midwestern girl? I like the sunglasses at all hours thing. Sometimes I wear a scarf over my hair--that also seems to keep people away, somehow.[/quote] If your daughter has to undergo the same experience, what would you teach her? Your children learn by modeling you. If you want your DD to act as you do, then don't change. If you think you should have acted differently, then start acting differently.[/quote]
