So many good thoughts here LabLover23 (I love labs too)

There is a similar dynamic between my daughter and myself. I really don't understand it. Other people like me....but she can make a whole list of negative things she says I make her feel. I don't know what is is I say or do that makes her feel that way but I try not to. All I know is I love her very much and when she's mad at me I just wait until she cools off. Maybe she doesn't meant to make you mad....it just what you're hearing more than what she's saying.
