[QUOTE="klmno, post: 224940, member: 3699"] I agree with you. I showed difficult child that I had $20 to spend at the races- I considered it a day of entertainment- with no expectation to win. I left with him after he said that to me though, because I wanted to reinforce the fact that he said those magic words (about being uncomfortable) so that a "good adult" would stop if a child is not comfortable. But- I did make a mental note to have a few conversations with difficult child at a later date and make sure he understood that if his wife (someday) wants to spend a day having fun with friends at races or something like that, in moderation, that will not make her an unfit mother!
