A chat with my kid's teacher last month made me rethink how I handle frustration.
She told me, 'He's not giving you a hard time, he's having a hard time,' and that simple switch in words completely reframed my view of his tantrums, so how do you guys deal with shifting your perspective on someone's difficult behavior?

Ever try to explain a flat tire to a cat? That's me trying to see things from my ex's point of view. I just get mad and start yelling at the cat.

That's a pretty good way to put it, actually.

Right? It's like trying to describe the color blue to a fish. I once spent twenty minutes arguing with a wall about my old roommate's cleaning habits.
