You see he would rather have chicken wings opposed to pizza. He would rather go out with friends opposed to staying in with us.

He must have said it a couple of times recently as I have only just noticed - is this an American thing? or just him?

Slippery road, mate. Time to pack your bags and head on home:nod:

Try to do it before he tells you he wants a Dr Pepper and sugar donuts for breakfast. If it has already got to that point then you have failed, sorry but that's life:(

We've not even had Valentine's day yet, but already, the Easter stuff is out.

Ah, but that means the Creme Eggs are out. Small victories, etc.

This is a good thing whatever the origin, embrace it. I can't get ours out of the house, even for 5 minutes, for love nor money. I'm starting to get worried we're going to be stuck with him until he's in his 30s.

I don't know how that would work. As long as I can get my hands on the caramel ones, I'll be happy.

Be patient.

At nearly 17 our younger son is suddenly not at home 2 or 3 evenings out of 7, something to do with a member of the opposite sex from what we can gather (but they are "just friends").

Our elder son was a bit slower off the mark, but was hampered by the object of his affections spending her senior year in Germany. A 6 hour time difference and several thousand miles of separation made nipping out to spend the evening together less than easy. They were also "just friends" until they were within 3 miles of each other again.:rofl:

Mine's already 18, he really has no excuse :lol:

To be fair though, your pizza is a pile of random stuff with sauce poured over 'em and a circle of dough laid on top.

Large jars of peanut butter, always being a little bit deeper than our knives.

Why aren't the jars a little bit wider rather than deeper?

Not yet, unless you mean the horrid Oreo abomination....though they do have the little mini eggs and I do love those...

Wings rock....from the burning hot that melts your anus, to the sweet stuff. Just lovely.

Not a very social food though as it's just not pleasant to watch someone else eat any.
