Wow Dawn, you are certainly getting the super sized MLC, with free refills to boot.
My H expects a lot of "mothering" from me too. Last track meet we went to for S16 H wanted to know why I hadn't told H it would get cold and made H bring a warmer jacket.
And I get random ugly nasties too. H read about the 8 yr old killed in the Boston bombing and said "he should have been in school". ?????
Watched a news show about famine and H says "they should just be let to die"
I can play shrink and guess why H goes on about these things, but that doesn't make it any more pleasant to hear about. (Does make me ask why he's so concerned about his folks... should just put 'em on an ice flow <if he was being consistent in his world view>)
Ya' know if I was H's mother I think I'd be looking for a paddle about now!
Take care. The sun's got to come out sooner or later.

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
