Training the Wife

My grandpa was the best and most patient man I ever knew. The one and only time in 30 years I got to spend with him where I witnessed him lose his shit was a camping trip to Seeley Lake when I was 7 and it was a direct result of my grandma giving him instructions to back the 5th wheel up into a telephone pole.

My wife does a superb job of staying where I can see her and giving directions that make sense in the cab.

The problem is that occasionally those directions are directly into something...

You train dogs, you educate people. Follow me for more relationship advice

Tell her that you want to educate her and let me know how that works.

I have been trying to work with my wife on this topic for 25 years…. Still no luck. I do have my daughter trained to give directions and back up.

Drive the trailer when backing up not the pickup. I can't give directions to the other half when backing up. Put I can back up and he can guide me just fine. Switch up and have her try backing the trailer but go practice some place with space.
I had to learn when I was a in my late teens while rodeoing and went from a little 3 ton cattle truck to a pickup/camper and horse trailer. Didn't hurt our other place you had to back in the drive or out the drive way with trailers, to park was extremely hard but that is how you learn.
New place was set up for trailers to turn around and its all on flat land.

Over the years, her back up instructions became spot on when we stayed at hotels.

A true test of any relationship is working cows. Trailer backing is the warm up.
