[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 464927, member: 2211"] [COLOR=#008080][SIZE=2]DDD, our appointment isn't until next week, grrr. And yes, I'm sure it's all related to the stuff going on, but he's always been like this about food in the house..."It's MY house, I can eat whatever I want" Now, I will say that it bugs me when easy child goes food shopping for herself and puts her name on the items. Not all of them, but a select few that are specifically for her lunches for the week. Even though it bugs me, I do understand where she's coming from because H or difficult child will just hlep themselves and not care that the item may have been earmarked for someone/something else. H and I have joked that we will begin labeling the foods we buy as ours...lol. However, we'd never do it, well, at least [I]I [/I]would never do it, lol. It's H's attitude about MINE and YOURS, etc. [B]When someone is being extremely territorial, isn't that a form of coping via control? [/B]Yes, TeDo, he is a difficult child, it's become glaringly apparent the longer I live with the man. Just when I thought I was done with gfgness, looks like I'll have to get my rear in gear and start practicing difficult child-101 again. on the other hand, I think it's more than just gfgness.
