Ugh! Isn't it exhausting just trying to explain? I know that people are just trying to offer suggestions on how to cope sometimes, but I wish there was just a remote and you could push a button that made them say, "Oh, I see! Okay do it your way."
I hate being made to feel combative, having to justify what I can and cannot do when all I am having a hard enough time just getting through the day.
So glad your dh is on the same page with you and able to speak up. GOOD for him.
