Fud: excellent ... have something yummy? or ... hey, good idea ... maybe next time I'll join you!
K, here it comes ...
He expected cereal for supper based on experience ... he wanted dinner, he bought it, he's a grown up - he can do what he wants. Even if you had made a gourmet meal and he didn't show up the suggested answer above would have been a good idea. You need to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Give you the benefit of the doubt??? You confirmed his doubt by complaining about what he chose to do (in response to what you admit you usually do)! Of course he assumes the worst, that's where he is right now and you know this ... and you can't TELL him any different, you have to SHOW him and give him time to notice and trust the changes.
The positives: - You let it go (well you didn't bring it up again, but you haven't let it go yet ... do it) - H asked you to do something with him and it wasn't watching TV
Chin up ... bring back the PMA! Peace PEI
