“looking at it as a power issue.” Concur on that one, too. Grandsons #1 and 2 visited us for a couple of weeks one summer, and #1 asked my husband, “But who has the power?” We looked at him, dumbfounded, and my husband launched a crash course on negotiation, relationships, respect, mate selection,etc. Not sure how much effect it had, because he left with a hand book on negotiations, a new stereo that he bought for a smokin’ low price, and the opinion that we “look at the cup as half full, not half empty.” Go figure.
You just made my day with that post. I have received some bad news lately and the laugh I just got was well needed. Thanks to you and your husband!
