[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 464745, member: 3419"] Oh, it wasn't that I didn't understand about the homework only being done to earn the computer back. It's that I let him get to me, emotionally, to the point where I was in tears and had to take a nap, and he refused to back down. I swear, I lose another few percentages of hearing every time he blows up. His eventual response was loud and defiant, as if to say, "You know that the only reason I did my homework was to earn computer time and not because I respect you or give a rat's *ss if I made you cry." But he didn't finish the sentence that way. I just said "I know," and walked away. Anyway, the good news is that I'm a few thousand miles away and get to eat chocolate chip ice cream out of the tub because I'm at my sister's house. :) The bad news is, I bought crispy Rosemary and olive oil crackers and have to hide them from my nephew because of his colon issues and lack of willpower, so there's still a little bit of that hiding-the-food thing no matter where I go ...:groooansmileyf: [/QUOTE]
