BigDH - 2009-01-22 1:27 PM It has taken a while, but we are pretty good about it now. We don't get into many 10 rounders, but when we do and when it is over, it is over. We can fight about something all the way to someones house, but the second we get there the bell rings and life resumes. Why rehash it. Its taken a while to get to that point though. trust me. I was tapping out after round 1 or 2. But the onslaught and the beatings continued.
Yeah, that is the difficulty. I relate. I am a big tapper and I can see when a fight is going south real quick.
Frankly, in a calm moment, you have to have a chat about fighting fair, now that is a tough conversation and probably will lead to its own fight. Sometimes arguments are about nothing, like which dish to put in the dishwasher, and they just spiral to a super nova. Sometimes they are about something, like why you are running for 3 hours every Sunday.
First you have to recognise the difference. Then you can resolve those that need resolving and just ignore the other ones. Thing is you cannot resolve things when one person is so hot under the coller.
Anyways, I am not saying things always come up roses. And I don't have kids yet. There is still give and take. |
