[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 170961, member: 2459"] Marg - :rofl: LOVE those one liners! I actually brought it up a couple of times yesterday. After he shut his door, he stayed in there for a while. (Not unusual no matter what the activity) When supper was ready I hollered through the door that it was ready and he needed to wash his hands first. He said that he wasn't eating so I told him Fine, but the SECOND you come out of that room, go wash your hands. (Which reminds me, I hardly see him wash his hands.....think I need to go through the house withy Lysol wipes :sick: ) As for talking to him matter of factly....he and I have had lots of discussions regarding sexual or reproductive topics. He knows I don't really embarrass and that he can ask me anything. If it's something I don't really know about, I just tell him that and have him ask husband. Because of that AND because this has been brought up with him more than once by husband, I tackled this particular issue about half way between calm/matter of factly and mad. I basically told him that that is a private situation that needs to be done behind a closed door because no one really wants to see that. Even with it being done under the covers, it's still very obvious what's going on especially with his bed being in direct site from the other room. Then I told him that because he had been talked to about this previously and it's still going on, the next time I saw it, I would be dousing him with water in one way or another. That's the point that he kind of got mad and replied with "Alright Mom, that's enough. I get it." I just told him that obviously he didn't or it wouldn't keep happening and then walked away. For the record, he wasn't mad because of the topic. He gets like that ANY time we talk to him about something and HE feels the conversation has gone on long enough. (Again.....it's not something HE wants to discuss so if it even happens, the discussion should only be a couple of seconds.) I think though, that I will print out this thread, keep somewhere safe and use some of those one liners! :winking: [/QUOTE]
