wishing, AJ has given you excellent advice. Your h is really trying to keep up w/you. In a way, you should be flattered that he's actually trying to match you step by step because it tells me that you are an excellent mother.
As for his grocery shopping, at least he's doing some shopping. The food might not be what you would put on the table every day, but at least he's not taking them to fast food places all of the time. You can counter balance that w/your healthy foods, which I know you do.
I've seen far too many mlc spouses attempt to wear the lbs down just to get what they want. They will pull every trick out of the hat and try it on you. You are a fighter and he knows that he's got to come up w/a lot of tricks to get one over on you. He's beginning to see that you are in for the long haul because you aren't allowing him to see you sweat.
I'm glad he asked you to fix your D's hair. That's a step in the right direction. As for picking up the diet pepsi, it may have been his way of thanking you for saying you'd do her hair. Mlcers have a terrible time expressing appreciation, so they revert back to bartering from their childhood. They don't know how to express the one true emotion of kindness to us when they are in mlc and bartering tends to help them bridge the gap w/us at times.
Enjoy your weekend!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
