[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 573775, member: 1233"] We have always been this way. He is lousy at finding solutions, but is better now than he was 20 yrs ago when we married. Mostly because I wuold get so dang annoyed I could have choked him over something and he hates wehn people get upset, esp me. So he has come a long way. But esp with the kids, he wants to bring his problems to me and have me fix them like I am his mommy. Usually he gets very little sympathy and an "oh, well, that is difficult, isn't it?" reaction. Took a long time to learn that and it drives him nuts. As a kid his parents didn't really do any supervision of him, at least not that I can see in old stories from anyone. Heck, at 3 he took his 18 mo sister for a mile long walk to get candy from a family friend rather than napping. Took his mom 2 hrs to realize they were gone! They walked PAST her, less than 3 feet away, and out the front door and she never noticed. He used to put lighter fluid on his shoe soles and set them on fire and go running down the street on a regular basis. [/QUOTE]
