Kids had to come by and pick something up this morning after I had left for work, and I left a note for my daughter along with a pack of candy. Got a text from their mother later on that basically said I guess what she's doing to them and our family isn't "so unhealthy for them"!
that's called projection. blow the dig at you off.
"Thanks for noticing wife. What do you wish I could do better next time?"
Coach, I honestly don't even see a dig unless one is hypersensitive. She acknowledged his intentions and prefers he do it another way...she even called it a "wish" indicating that she knows the limitations of her entitlement with Antlers. This is really no biggie. I am interested in why you guys don't see the simplicity in this one...

That's her comment and wish, fair enough.

That's a dig. The man has lost a lot of weight, has trained and completed ultra-long bike rides. He knows what is healthy food and what is not.
I'm going with Mars/Venus here. It really is NOT a dig from my POV...why take it as a dig? Those topics are touchy. She's human and maybe didn't find the perfect phrasing. It is not some heavy blow to his parenting or manhood.
