that sounds like a great gift for your dad! and very ironic about his W. and ug about his asking her to make him dinners. maybe someday he'll get it.
You did a great job about talking to H about the staring problems. I'm not sure I would have been able to do that! That took a lot of courage. and it's wonderful that he respected your feelings about it.
Hey, cliffy's horse story made me also think about Michelle's story about the disabled guy who was "lazy" and wouldn't get a job, per the W. and the W was always trying to help him. Then Michelle told her to get nursing home brochures and stuff, and act like, ya, your right, you'll never be able to work again and I just have to acknowledge that and live with it. Then, he found a job shortly thereafter.
Could it be possible that good reinforcement, or encouraging, praising doesn't work for H? Could he be feeling patronized?
Cliffy and Donna, is that what you guys are thinking? or what was the purpose of the statements made?
