This is going to seem very petty, but our arguements started from me asking if she was ok. She would say yes, why? Then here comes the nasty part, I would say you sure do seem mighty quiet. That gets me both barrels every time. You would think I would just leave it alone. Even though she does not have the feelings for me that she had, I still have them for her. If their is something bothering her, I want to help. If I ask anything at all about her, she reads that as I'm being nosey and getting in her business or trying to control her. None of which is true, is just genuine concern or friendly conversation. So normally unless she decides to speak to me, we just stare at the tv until it is bedtime. Sometimes we argue over our parenting differences, we basically raised our oldest to believe he had to earn what he wanted. He helped out around the house and always had a job for his gas and fun money. He turned out to be a loving appreciative young man. The one we are having our differences with now is 17, does not work, does very little around the house to help out, pretty much does whatever she wants and gets whatever she wants from my wife. She gets weekly gas money, any money she needs for going out. I always thought we should have stuck with making them earn what they get so it would be appreciated instead of expected. These are the two sources of most of our arguements.
