That's a good thing to be mindful of and I agree with you that it will add clarity and make things easier.
That's the big thing to get your husbands attention. I think he is listening but it becomes obvious he wasn't when he goes and does the exact opposite. I'll have to figure out what captures his attention.
This can be carried a bit further to be aware of your words so you do no harm.
thanks for your lovely comment. Give it a try..
I can tell you what captures his attention is to say something totally off the wall. lol
