Do You ever use "Crying" to your advantage?

I admit, I sometimes do. When my husband gets so mad, I would just start crying and then...well..things turn out differently. In return, my kids do that to me too. What is it with tears that softens our hearts? Do you ever cry as leverage for yourself?

I have never thought of it that way. I don't like people to see me cry, but I do cry. When I'm pissed off I just cry alone in my room or the adoracion chapel. When I'm alone that's when I cry my hearts out. They only see me cry when we watch a sad movie or T.V. show like "Maalaala Mo Kaya".

Some men are sensitive to tears. Womem will always shed their crocodile tears as a weaopon to get their husband's attention. Not for my husband though no matter how many pails of tears will not soften his heart to bow to my wants. So I have not again tried to cry in front of him. But my kids have successfully made me bow out to their demands using this tactics.

i don't cry for my own advantage, but once i did in my childhood when a servant was really irritating me and he wasn't even doing his work properly, he always wanted to see television and do nothing
