SciDad, how about we dig up that thread about DB related songs and that could be our playlist. Or better yet, forget the DB and lets just play fun songs for our own enjoyment.
My 9 year old gave me a lesson last night and he is so strict! When I complained that my fingers were hurting he told me "Mom, Man up! You didn't hear me complaining when the strings hurt my fingers." I love that kid! I stopped drinking this week and noticed that my vocals are not quite as awesome without the wine, so we need to play loud to cover up my singing.
As far as the phone. My H did the same thing, started showing me things, asking me if I liked his screen better than mine, letting S9 play games on it again, leaving it out on the counter. I will admit a few times I "peeked" but it made me angry, because I felt like it was degrading myself. Actually one day he had asked me if I had looked at an email because I guess it was up on his screen when he turned his phone on and I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. Sorry to take over your thread, but wanted to share my experience with the phone thing. I feel better when I don't peek at the phone. I feel better that he is not hiding it anymore, not really reassured, but at least I am not being disrespected to my face. But I feel MUCH better about myself when I don't peek. Mostly because if he catches me looking at his phone I feel like I will look pathetic and weak.
