he's being a schmuck, and you should tell him so.

i think i struggle between the not treating him like a child and treating him like a child thing. I suppose the difference is in the consequence... rather than getting grounded, i'm backing off. I don't yell and scream (physically can't handle it), but i can do less and less that is specifically for him until he starts acting differently.

with one thing to add: Men are Dumb. So you need to explicitly TELL him you are doing this, and why.
otherwise, he may not figure it out for himself. Amazing as that may seem \:D
