and allow Tabitha to do the most
talking to begin with so that you
can use what she says to point
out the problem. I think you get
the picture. You want to always
give peace its best shot, but with
most passive aggressive people,
peace may not always be able to
be kept. They are always going
to want to have things their way
and it is often hard to get through
to them. This is why you should
prepare yourself to be the bad
guy if need be in order to get the
point across that things need to
change for the family’s sake.

Having the ability to show love
and patience to your Tabitha will
be your best bet when trying to
win them over to a much needed

responsible person. Being able
to show them their wrongs will
accomplish more than fighting
with them about things, and doing this in the love of Christ Jesus
they will be more apt to accept
what you are trying to do. Keeping peace is always the best way
if it be at all possible, but depending on how long your Tabitha has
been this way, you must prepare
for the fact that they may not be
willing to change. In this event,
then you have to take different
measures and pray that she will
at least feel bad about the way
her life is affecting others and
hopefully she will change on her
own. This will mean going on
about life as usual and trying to
ignore the fact that you are again

taking up Tabitha’s slack.

If all else fails and you have exhausted every effort to deal with
your Tabitha, but nothing seems
to be getting any better, just look
up and Praise God for her because life would be so much different if she weren’t there.
