The mess doesn\u2019t bother him. It is well known that if we do not want to see the mess, we just have to hide everything under the bed: what we don\u2019t see does not exist. But, I am the daughter of a serviceman, I had a very strict education. So I laid down the law by offering him slippers; no way he's going to walk in shoes at home and bring in dirt from the street. When he splashes everything like a whale when brushing his teeth, I ask him to wipe the mirror once he has finished. I showed him 10 times how to fold his clothes to make beautiful piles in the cupboard. I come to check and I congratulate him, if he deserves it. When I tell him 'I am not your<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/lifelove\/coaching-lifelove\/should-we-tell-our-mother-everything-61007.html\"> mother<\/a>', tired of managing everything, even at home, he fights back and answers: \u2018I didn\u2019t ask you anything!\u2019\u201d<\/p> <h2> <span>\u2026 DID YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK?<\/span> <\/h2> <p><strong>Guillemette, 42, Archaeologist, in a relationship, a 10-year-old son from her first marriage.<\/strong><\/p> <p>\u201cMy partner is 11 years younger than me and is finishing his Archaeology studies. I like to coach people; others did it for me in the past, and it is very pleasant. I oversee his work. I don\u2019t miss a single thing, it is my perfectionist nature. I help him to move his thesis forward and introduce him to people in the business. He really has huge potential. And he is lucky to have me. Well, it sounds a little like the mother pushing her prodigal son. As a result, Renaud hides things from me; on his computer, he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/lifelove\/coaching-lifelove\/dark-side-maintain-secrets-79993.html\">hides <\/a>his research in a hidden file, etc. He says that I am on his back way too much, to which I reply; 'It is true but it is for your own good.' I also tell this to my 10 year-old son. Renaud will realise it eventually that professionally, I make him gain a few years.\u201d<\/p> <h2> <span>\u2026 TAKE A PULLOVER, SWEETIE<\/span> <\/h2> <p><strong>Charlotte, 38, Exhibition Commissioner, married, a 6-year-old daughter.<\/strong><\/p> <p>\u201cWhen we got married, I attached a teddy bear in front of the car. In\u00a0the beginning, Mario liked my \u201cmama\u201d side. He found it charming that I recommended him to take a pullover in the morning after announcing the daily weather report. He found the little nicknames I gave him funny; 'great Mario' or \u00a0'sweetie, as long as it stayed between us. Regrettably, the nicknames escaped from my mouth in public, during a<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/fashion\/trends-and-tips\/dress-code-101-wear-formal-dinner-87390.html\"> dinner <\/a>with friends who were also his colleagues. Since then, they call him 'sweetie' or 'great Mario'. When he says that I make him childish, I answer; 'Do not get excited sweetie, it is not good for your health'. The truth is that I really enjoy protecting the people I love.\u201d<\/p>   <p><em>\u00a0Valerie Rodrigue<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tidy your socks, take some fruit, go to the dentist, did you ask for an increase?
