Thans Snodderly: I just printed out this thread. I plan to read it thoroughly tonight after the kids go to bed.

My H is sure acting like a baby. Today I took s16 out for 2 1/2 hours trying to find the 15 leaves that he needed to identify for biology class. We found most at a local college where the beautiful grounds have the trees marked.

We then went to sil's (h's sister) who I knew would know the leaves. She pointed out some on her property, told us where to find at Mil's house and at another sil's. We made brief visits to everyone and picked the leaves we needed and were done.

While we were gone, d13 called and said H was coming by to take her for a new bat bag. When s16 and I got home, who pulls in H and d13. He dropped her off and started backing up to drive away. I aproached the car and asked if he was coming in to play catch with her and he said he doesn't go where he is not wanted.

He pulled away ...and that was that. He tm'd me asking about d13's orthodontist appt. tomorrow. He said he would pick her up and take her. I tm'd him that she has a game tomorrow just so he was aware. His tone was sharp.

So, Snodderly, I am leaving him out there. Gonna take d13 to the banquet and he can play the martyr. He is acting like a 5 year old and I am tired of it. I wish i knew if my old h will ever resurface I am beginning to give up hope.
