Gee, I'm just the opposite. I work VERY hard at keeping my mouth shut and avoiding confrontation. I have no problem at all laying down edicts to either my children or my husband (or the school bus driver, the teacher, and the trainer!
) It just doesn't do me any good though...what have I proven? I'm trying hard to be more conciliatory and less of a b**** when I'm unhappy about something.
I'm working hard at not sweating the small stuff.
