[QUOTE="Steely, post: 57955, member: 3301"] Oh boy........I am so tired of the negativity rhetoric I might puke. Everything and anything is a target. It makes living in the same household similar to torture. I guess it just must be their depression that colors everything a different shade. I don't know. Marguerite, this boyfriend sounds really good with young kids. I am impressed. I might try that with Mat - challenge him on each thing he hates to see if he can find one positive. My guess is though, that he will just go on more of a tangent of negativity, trying in vain to defend his point. UGH. Ella, I know your story was not funny at the time - but I laughed and chuckled for awhile over it because that is exactly what Mat would do at that age. OMG. I would just sit there with my head in my hands praying I could become invisible. Interesting how things are never funny at the time, but years later we can find the humor in them. I guess that is a blessing. [/QUOTE]
