Very hard, but critical for any action of mine to have merit with Maria.<BR/><BR/>Second, I try to let her make the choice of how to behave, but she has to live with the consequences. As Dave Morgan likes to say, "I'm sorry you made that choice." She is starting to realize that she can't blame me for her decision. So she gets to make her decision, but she doesn't get her way.<BR/><BR/>That doesn't help on which battles to fight, but they are lessons I have learned the hard way once you choose a battle.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have learned not to fight a battle when it is her just being tired. When I pick a battle then, it is lose-lose for us both.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://tonyarnold.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Tony</A>Tony Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497055762329338990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821288.post-1132692345957337952005-11-22T16:45:00.000-04:002005-11-22T16:45:00.000-04:00Phil,You'll love this.

It was unbelievably helpful and I think it also made her day.<BR/><BR/>DarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
