Lack of Positive Reinforcement

[pbear19]

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the advice. One thing I'm definitely not going to do is to try to change her, or get her to adapt to me. That's not in the equation at all. Like I said, I know her well enough to know that I cannot even have a conversation with her about this.

I really just wanted to know if it was at all normal, which it sounds like it might be with this kind of small business. And, if there were any suggestions on how I could deal. I don't expect the situation to change, so I need to find some techniques to help myself get through the next 9 months. Just having the knowledge that this isn't abnormal for this type of business is already helping me cope with the situation a bit better.

Thanks again!
