[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 594345, member: 831"] Candied orange peel?? :surprise: As someone who has been obsessed with food all my life, that's a new one on me. I know our difficult children can go on a tear at anytime, but mine always seem to manage one around, or on, Mother's Day. Son, Ugh!! My brother is visiting and over dinner Son decides this is the time to pick a fight with me about going to the psychiatrist. Thing is, he goes on and on and on! I calmly told him I would discuss it with him once we got home, and not during a lovely dinner his grandmother had prepared. This was Friday. Then, last night he starts in on me about my hair. Yes, my hair. I got it done yesterday and apparently my hairdresser did not meet HIS standards. Again, going on and on and on and claims he's "trying to help you". My mother threatens to ask him to leave if he doesn't be quiet. My brother has an adult daughter with autism that lives at home, so he's very understanding of the behavior. But, it's EVERY time we get together with family. I can't put my finger on what makes him go off like that. Then, late last night, husband is working out of town, and Son is talking on the phone with him. They get into a argument. Son is insulting husband and being a major PITA. husband makes the mistake of engaging it. Son gets off the phone and proceeds to unload on me. "You need to divorce him, you deserve better!" I finally tell him to go into his room and shut the door. Of course, he slams it and I'm left with a "WTH just happened?" This morning, Daughter is at work, Son is sleeping, and it's quiet. I'll take it. Wishing you a peaceful Mother's Day, Nerfherder! [/QUOTE]
