brehon Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 <sigh> 8:15 and already had 1 less than positive encounter with ds11. Over oatmeal of all things. Even as my brain was screaming,"Red Alert! Hormonal pre-teen! Don't engage!" my mouth opened and, well, you can probably guess the rest. It's 5:00 p.m. somewhere in the world, right.

extendedforecast Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm sorry I have one (two?) of those right now. I seem to recall my mom often saying "I'm sorry I opened my mouth" when I was a tween/teen. I love that quote, lol. I may steal it. The other day DD14 wanted me to watch a show with her. I could tell it was important to her for me to be there with her, but every time I said something, I regretted it. I'm slow, lol, so it took me more than a few comments to learn that I should just watch and shut up, even when DD would ask me a question. This is (thankfully) not the norm. But between my 12 and 14 yo, sometimes I feel like I'm walking across a field of landmines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brehon Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 You might try messing with his mind by being terribly kind and agreeable today. I've tried. I think my tongue has open wounds right now. I seem to recall my mom often saying "I'm sorry I opened my mouth" when I was a tween/teen. Oh, this is good. How are things going? Erm, how about an extra jigger or two of something special to go in that blender, hmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(j/k) <sigh> I know! It is SO hard. We've had this run-in every day for a week. I don't know why I keep falling into the trap. Fortunately, neither of us gets mad for long, stays mad, or holds a grudge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brehon Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks for the commiseration, TM. Yes, it's so easy to say/think "I'm not going to be sucked in" in the rational light of day. But once someone's hormones and/or emotions start up it's so easy to forget that rational resolution. The eruption doesn't usually last long; but he does know how to milk the situation. Extendedforest, your analogy of the mine field is so true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
