[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 694133, member: 11791"] Copa. I have two kids - one is an adult, the other almost an adult. I'm having to learn to say a whole lot LESS. I still have a lot to say - I'm a Mom. BUT... sometimes, things can be said with a few words or two sentences - not a whole speech. And it helps to not go from one thing, to another, and then another - that's just nagging. If there is a current problem and it is affecting [I]you[/I], then approach it as just that - not as something he needs to learn anyway. He CAN figure that part out. What he needs to hear is more along the lines of he's not a kid anymore, and you have the need and the right to be able to manage the food stock for yourself and M. Especially now that you are working, coming home to an "empty fridge" - or at least empty of what you had planned for supper and breakfast and tomorrow's lunch - is not acceptable. [/QUOTE]
