I do feel like he wants me to be as miserable as he is. He wants me to explode. I know he does.


Today on the way to s11's game it was back to: "s11 did you know...," "s11 did I ever tell you...," "s11 what did you think of x?" All the while with me sitting there in the car with them.

Job- I was thinking about how I would handle this meal stunt if s13 pulled this. I am contemplating a few options about the meals. I like your idea.

I also am thinking about cutting off his gravy train. I think, before I start to make dinner I will go into his room and ask him if he plans to eat this evening. If the answer is not a categorical yes, I will not make him dinner and I'll politely tell him so. If he is crafty he will start to say "no, not right, but I'll eat it later," then I'll still not make dinner. I am leaning this way to make it clear dinner is now or not at all.

I will be direct. If he starts to say yes, he's eating, but doesn't, I'll stop cooking him meals altogether. I will tell him "you don't seem to want to eat with us anymore so I won't be cooking you meals anymore."

Clearly he is gunning for a fight because he comes into the kitchen for his wrapped meal at the exact time I am cooking that night's meal.

In my fantasy life I am the WAW.
