Star, you've got it all wrong. You should meet my mother - my sister and I are totally convinced she was at least a General in her past life. Boy, can she yell at us and boy don't we clean up our mess!
I tell ya, she's infernal :evil: . She's got this mean look and you don't want to be messing around when she's giving it to you. My sister was very stubornned as a little gir and yup, she got it. A lot. I can confirm you that she has developped a slight clean feak obsession - ok, I'm messier, but it's my own room and I do wash my stuff and take out the trash. She is very tidy. I'm proud of her
!
However when I'm home - we all get the third degree! I remember I was 19 and going away to the university the last time she slapped me - didn't desirve it, but I did stand up to my sister who had been disrespectful towards her. I was too glad to be leaving, but kinda sad to de doing it under those terms. Didn't even say good bye, LOL!
Main point: Star you gotta make them! Make them do their own thing. Otherwise... I just don't see how you'll get everything done! It sounds impossible - 2 adults and one baby, one house... you've gt dogs, don't you?
