I am a marter, marder, martyr. However you spell it, I are one. I say things meant to manipulate those around me. Believe me I am very much aware of my issues, my shortcomings, my growth areas. My husband is also painfully aware. He and I share a laugh at my expense now though. I could just blame my parents and move on but then why post about it?
The usual statements I make...
I can't believe I am the only one who knows how to(insert task)
Must we leave all the lights on?
Must I do everything?
Little help here.
N0, don't get up, I got it!
I said I got it!
I'm hot.
I'm cold.
Do you have to do it like that?
I'm fine.(be sure to say that through gritted teeth)
Oh, there are so many more. Punctuate them with a heavy sigh and a rolling of the eyeballs and you've got yourself a pity party.

Pat,
feel free to add to the list, babe.
Add these:
- "Forget it"
- "Nevermind"
- "Whatever"
- "What's the point?"
- "Doesn't anyone understand I have to pick up before I can clean up?"
Pat "What's wrong?"
Carla "Nothing."
I mean "NOTHING!!"
In light of Porter's sermon, don't you notice these more and more?
Tap that coffee cup, people.
I think the master manipulator trait comes with motherhood. We must learn how to get what we need, right?
I've also been known to say a few of those. ;)
I've said some of those. The others, I'll use later! Thanks!
Hahaha, yeah. These are very familiar...
"I'm not angry. I'm fine, I SAID I'M FINE. I'm just tired"
ooh, and my favorite,
"Because I know all I do is sit around the house eating bon bons all day."
