Your spouse drives you crazy. It’s those little (or big) annoying habits and irritations that wear on you day in and day out. On one hand, you love your sweetheart, but on the other hand you want to scream!

What do you do when you feel the push and pull of these opposing forces? Do you hug your partner or grimace and boil in frustration? I say: It’s a matter of choice.

"Ha!" you might respond, "You don’t have to live with my spouse. I do! You just don’t know what a pain he (or she) can be!"

Not long ago they seemed thick as thieves. Although there are several years between them, they always managed to find ways to play together. Sure, your older daughter would get annoyed when her younger sister went for her toys, but overall things were peaceful.

So, what happened? It seems as if since your oldest hit high school she doesn’t have the time of day for her doting sister. In fact, although you hate to be honest with yourself, on occasion she has been downright mean toward her.
