whoaa, your h may have been talking about what he sees as a cop every day. I doubt he was equating your "nagging" to that type of abuse. If so, he really is seeing himself as a victim, which isn't just immature and irresponsible, it's also sad and alarming b/c it would mean he thinks he has no control IN the R, and so must look outside the R for the feeling of control. Like I said, though, I doubt he meant you.
Oh, I have a son(20) and many nephews, and I know what you mean about boys. This is different. It's just that I think my friends kid is somewhat autistic (my little brother has Asperger's syndrome, which is a mild form of it) and she doesn't seem to notice his odd behavior. She said he got picked on at school so now she home schools him. But now he is even less sociable and stranger in his interactions with other kids, and very immature. So, thing is, if it were my sister, I could say something. She is Not helping him, in the long run. When a teacher asked him what a best friend would be like, he said "a robot" and my friend thought it was inappropriate for the teacher to question further and then suggest counselling. But I think the teacher is on to something. But it's my friend's only child (b/c she said, "he's so much work, I could never have another kid" ) and she seems to think he is a genius of some sort and that it is the reason other kids aren't kind, they just don't get his brilliance....okay.... Just made my weekend weird b/c I love do my friend, but her kid made me look for a xanax, which I have none of...he does not make conversation unless asked and then gives one word answers. Can't leave him alone with a pet... His laugh, when it comes, is extremely odd. He clings like a 4 y/o and weighs more than me, actually weighs more than d18 who is 6 ft tall and not anorexic.... Last complaint on him- went out to dinner with them last night and I came in last due to parking. I noticed d18 sat across from the kid, leaving me to sit next to him, so I could hear his constant eating noises and see the droppings next to my lap....but d18 told me later she had weighed it all out, and chose to sit across from him, even though it meant maybe constantly seeing the contents of his mouth....(actually hilarious to hear her tactics) b/c she figured it'd be easier for her to avert his face, than avert hearing his noises... but we both ended up thinking we had lucked out in a way...the kid also doesn't seem to bite pieces of things, but stuffs the chunk in his mouth. Took a piece of bread and put the whole "butter bowl" (the little tub that holds maybe a half stick) on top of it, and then put the entire piece into his mouth...OKAY I AM STOPPING NOW...
later on, this will be a comedy monologue or something. Wonder if I can do a "monologue" of just eating, on stage, and trying to converse the way he did....could be funny....or really gross. j-
