[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 531633, member: 7664"] It is a whim for J. Everyone request that you talked about J making today, sounds like he was creating his day as the thought came to him. He was successful at shaping the scene, unbeknownst to him that you were increasingly upset with each request and acquiescence. When you had finally reached your breaking point, it sounds like it was quite a shock to him because things had been going so swimmingly from his perspective. My only advice would be to start verbalizing your frustration to him (in a calm, teaching way) as soon as you are frustrated, instead of trying to be 'saintly' and then exploding and expecting J to understand why. As always, I am saying this only as an 'observer', not because I am able to act in this manner 100% of the time. :) [/QUOTE]
