[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 752754, member: 16024"] Hi Ann, You daughter’s reaction was way over the top, and is probably indicative of the way she deals with stress, but I have to take up for her just a bit. Your husband was treating her like a five year old, not an adult that can order her own tea if she wants to, and can eat or not if she wants to. If you were dining with an unrelated adult, you wouldn’t harangue them over their uneaten dinner. You would let them handle it in the way they see fit, and you wouldn’t mention the $10. I would have been annoyed, also (though I wouldn’t yell or curse). Now, I don’t want you to walk on eggshells in your own home, but I would try to let go of the unnecessary micromanaging. [/QUOTE]
