Don't mean to derail, but Dude would you elaborate on this topics (either in another thread, a PM, or by pointing me to a thread where this was discussed)?

We are working on making things run smoother in our household and this really resonated with me at first glance. I would appreciate knowing more about your speech, your thinking on this topic, the lists of items in each bucket, etc. Thanks in advance.

And to make this relevant to the OP, Bean, I sympathize. DD is always better getting taught by other people than by DH or I. She seems to save all her worst behaviors for us.

Feel free to elaborate here!

Thanks for all of the sympathy. It's really not a "just mom" thing- although she does save her best performances for me.

Unfortunately, hers is a personality that "turns up" in my family tree. My hope is to direct it into something productive rather than self-destructive.

I've seen it go both ways.
