Julie,

When my hubby and I were first married he sometimes teased and called me "mouse mouth." I would let people walk literally all over me and never put up a fuss. You could basically say or do anything to me and I just hung-in there. However, when I became a mom that all changed. I just put on my Lion "face" for those people and told myself I was doing it for my kids own good. Try to think of yourself as the Mother Lion taking good care of her cubs. You know you would do whatever it takes to make them happy and fulfilled. You can do it!
