[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 622211, member: 17269"] Lucy, the fridge raiding seems like something you should address up front, even before his arrival. He did it last time, it seems likely that he will assume he can do it this time. RAther than wait till you are face to face for a potentially uncomfortable event, I would be tempted to address it by text or email or however you are communicating with him now. Let him know that you will (or won't) put together a bag of groceries for him if you feel like it, but that he is not to take anything from the house on his own. I just feel like if that makes him mad or makes him not want to come you should know that ahead of time. Hoping for a good visit! I saw my difficult child twice in the last two weeks...once at lunch, and once he came to work. Its been OK, but boy does it bring out old behaviors and responses in me that I wish I knew better how to manage. Good luck! Echo [/QUOTE]
