[QUOTE="Andy, post: 295562, member: 5096"] As I have said before, our difficult child boys will grow up to be men so, sometimes when they simply can not get it, it is not always because they are difficult children, it can just be because they are male! Knowledge does not always help when the wisdom isn't there to guide it. My husband - he does his own laundry. Our area of frustration is food. He grew up with a mother who lived through the depression and was a horrid cook so he does not know better. His latest? He made sloppy joes the other day and insisted that as long as we had bread and hotdog (yes hotdog) buns we were set. Umm, no! I eat my sloppy joes on a hamburger bun - so I gave $$$ to difficult child to ride bike to a nearby convenience store to get the buns that I needed. husband was not happy that I spent $$ on hamburger buns that day when there was already other bread in the house! Give me a break! My husband - will eat burnt popcorn just so it "doesn't go to waste!" His mother controlled him with food and brainwashed him so bad that I have to throw away old food when he is not looking or he will insist that it is wasteful to throw it and it must be eaten. I am certainly not going to eat leftovers and am very picky about which leftovers I let my kids eat. He is bound to die of food poisoning from old moldy food one of these days. [/QUOTE]
