As always, I am posting during shark week. Little to report in the way of shit tests (but she is not done yet). What little shit tests she did send my way, I swatted away like gnats. Frame is key men.

I have some positive results the last few days though.

My mother is trying to take my young daughter to a high-school football game tonight, but I told her she needs to have her home by bedtime at 7:30 p.m. She tried to argue with me to stay later, and was met with a firm no.

So, my mom tried to circumvent me and called my wife. She told my wife I was being too "ridged" and asked her if she could keep my daughter longer tonight.

My wife responded that I am the "boss" and whatever I say goes. She repeated to my mother I am the "boss" three different times. The best part is now my wife accepts it and means it.

A few days prior, I was in the kitchen after dinner when my daughter asked for some ice cream straight out of the container. I got the ice cream and a spoon, took a big bite and said only daddy eats ice cream from the container, in a joking way but also saying no to the request. My daughter then asks my wife if she can eat it that way when I leave the room, and my wife says "no" your daddy is the "boss" and we must follow his rules. She said this when she didn't think I was listening. She meant it.

The Rep Pill is paying off. Frame, self improvement, boundaries, hobbies, and lifting make you strong. My wife, months later, is finally buying in and she is happier for it. It takes a load off of her for me to lead. Our marriage is better because of it. My satisfaction with life has increased 100%.

Keep up the good work guys, it keeps getting better and better.
