How do you deal with not getting your way?

I don't really have that problem since there's noone here but me & i pretty well do what i want to.. I hope u get your way about everything it's bad when u don't & have to be around whoever stopped u from getting it. been there done that but it's been a long , long time ago but i sure remember how it was. Have a good night.

Ok, first I have to think about the last time I didn't get my way.... Oh yeah, now I remember! Normally if hubby or I have the power to give me what I want... I get it. My husband is terrible at saying no to me. Sometimes he will try to, but in the end he always gives in. Sometimes I'll have to bribe or blackmail him.. but I'll get it. When it's out of our control, well sometimes I just have a full blown temper tantrum, like Saturday. I was beyond stressed out on Saturday.. over tired I think. I woke up way earlier than I wanted to to the sounds of the kids not behaving and one of them screaming right outside my bedroom door... GRRR. So the day just got worse from there. Hubby was out of work at 2 on Saturday, and it was the weekend my mom was supposed to take the kids.. but she and I hadn't talked about it, so I wasn't sure it was still happening. Well I called her and basically she couldn't take them. Hubby tried calling his father to watch them, he knew I needed to get away from them badly! Well his father was busy until like 5:30 or 6.. he told us he'd be over then. That alone was frustrating enough for me, I wanted to go out at 2, not sit around listening to them for another 3-4 hours! Ugh! Come 5pm I was so tired I didn't even want to get dressed, but I did.. put on some make up and everything, and hubby and I discussed what we might go do without the kids for a few hours. We wanted to see Alice In Wonderland, but I was desperate to go have a few drinks. The movie was playing at 7. When 6 came and went we decided we'd skip the movie and just do the drinks. Then it's coming up on 6:30 and we still hadn't heard from FIL. Hubby called his house, although he wasn't supposed to be home at all... but he answered! I was so fricken ticked off that he was so late and didn't bother to call even though he "stopped home" (I'm seriously thinking he forgot or something). So hubby told his dad to forget about it while I just threw a temper tantrum like a 2 year old! In the end I sent hubby out for some Kahlua and a chocolate pie, and we sat around watching TV all night after putting the kids to bed very early!

I used to just get over it and go on. Now I always get my way since I live alone and I love it. I can do, say, eat, watch anything I want. Only right now I can't make this any longer because Gus has to have his way--it's his dinner time! I guess there are exceptions but not enough to matter.

I argue logically. If it's important, I don't back down until the person at least see's why I want it that way. If it's not important, I may just decide not to fight that battle.

Before I was a mother and I didn't get my way, I would pout like a small child. However, now that I am a mother with two children of my own, I see that pouting is not the way to deal with things not going your way. Now for the most part I will accept that things aren't going to follow my plan and I will just move on to the next thing. There are times that I will scream about it when it is something that was of extreme importance to me, but mostly I just try to forget about it.

Hello my friend I use to let things bother me, not anymore I strongly believe everything happens for a reason so I learn from it and move on,still trying to master that when it comes to the people in my life, hard to know who is there for a Reason/Season/Lifetime but I am getting there. Thanks.

Its been some time since I've been in such a situation but the last time I didn't get my way I acted like a frickin child except with out the kicking and screaming on the ground bit. Hopefully I'll handle myself better in the future.

when i don t get what i want i usually think of another plan to get it. i always try to work my way around the obstacle until i find my way in. i almost often fail though. lol. i don t take it as a -no- when someone says -no-. i dont listen very well to this word. lol.

It depends, if it just involves me than I guess I won't really mind at all and I will try to keep it down. But if someone else is involved then I guess I will be panicking and create a havoc.

It really depends on my mood.s I could really be a headache when things don't go my way. I just keep temper check because I know I'll really get in trouble if I do. I know that I could be really scared about. I'm good in controlling temper maybe because I could really get nasty with my moods. I hope you do the same.

It is so frustrating when I can not get things done my way. However I am a reasonable man to argue reasonably and rationally. But if still I can not get it done my way, then there is sure hell to raise if her way caused more trouble than my way would have been. That means , I give in if I can not convince her. But she better make sure she is right or she won't win the next time around. On the other hand, if I got it done my way and later, we find out that her way would have been better, I do not mind apologizing and admitting her would would have been better.

I just make it take longer or go slower whenever possible. If its my way, its done right away. I used to get bent out of shape over stuff, but, its not really acceptable in general society.

i am very hagry then time,but i just control my selp and i genareli request some body.

It's pointless to pot,cry,kick or scream.You can't solve your problems doing these things.It's better to overcome them and move on..Of course it depends on people's character.There are 3 ways: 1st-trying to get the thing no matter what will cost 2nd-overcoming and moving on 3rd-crying at lenght about how life is unfair(which is funny :DDD )
