Cat- you are so right. My H is foreign-born, so I don't even know more less understand the family or the culture he grew up with. Misunderstandings are rampant and miscommunication is ongoing, prob since day 1.

I'll have to go back and read your stitch- you and I both met H early (me at 19) and I think I could learn a lot from you about how to figure out how to be my own grown up person. My S16 hasn't started driving yet, which is ok with me grin
