You're welcome. I guess that because I've known for a while now that I don't think the same way as my parents or my spouse, its one of the first things that comes to my mind when I am dealing with a situation like this. I spend time trying to figure out what I'm missing about the other person's thought process because I know that if I don't understand that then my actions may not bring satisfaction to either of us. One of my mom's favorite comments to toss off when I was a kid was, "don't expect me to be a mind-reader."
