Um, yeah, I don't think this will work with my family

Okay, so I was reading an article on WikiHow. It was actually pretty funny and I know it wasn't intended to be, but you should read it anyway. It's pretty well, self explanatory. So, I thought I would comment on this article. I can't help myself.

Let's start with the title of the article. (Really you have to read it. I'm not giving anything away here) Seriously, if you can't do this already, I don't think this article will help any.

Step 1 in my house is likely to get a sarcastic remark. Please don't state the obvious around us. We're likely to decide you're an idiot and stop listening.

Step 2A, um, can you say tough? Really, you think this will work? Have you met my family? Not to be unsympathetic or anything, but grow up, life's going to be like that sometimes.

Same with step 2B.

Step 3. As my now deceased father would say, "How's it feel to want?"

Step 4. Good luck with that.

Really and truly I understand the point of this exercise. I know some people need this information. But seriously if you are reading that article going, "Wow, I never thought of that," then you're probably related to me and there's really no hope for you. If you're reading that and thinking it sounds stupid and pointless and your fists are a better way of getting your point across, then yeah you might need anger management classes but I doubt this article will help much. I think most articles like this are written by someone with someone in particular in mind. Let's face it, the person you're thinking of won't read the article. It's just going to be someone like me who is laughing myself silly at you. Sorry, if you're a woman, then get it through your head, either he's a guy and he's not going to change, get over him. Or you're a guy and you need to grow a set. Good luck either way.
