you're right

h is not a child
h is a man


sometimes, my d hugs me so hard i almost fall
i say don't fall me down
d says okay mama

d does not say

"gee thanks mama, you really make me feel good about myself"


d has no clue how to use sarcasm yet


i did not say to h

"oh, thanks for hugging me over the trash can, that really makes me feel good about myself"

i just let H hug me




this conversation is making me sick
i'm gonna be more mad at H than I was yesterday
because you're so vehemently defending his position
i said i hugged him back
and the deal was over

the underlying behavior powering that exchange causes me grief...

that is what this post is about
