Then tell him to move back in with Mama.

Well, no, actually. But I have dated a lot of Daddy's little princess'.
Daddy said this, daddy didn't do it like that. Bah! Humbug!

No, his mom died when he was 14. All he remembers is her struggle with cancer. However, his grandmother lived right downstairs and he was the apple of her eye. The only time I heard about how she did things differently than me, was the way she cooked their traditional foods. I welcomed the instruction she gave me on making his favorites. There were no written recipes, and she spoke little English. so I spent a lot of time watching her make these dishes and then having her watch me make them. She was a sweetheart. She thought i was the best too. Now I smile proudly whenever hubby's sister comes for a visit and I make one of their traditional dishes. She tells me it's great and tastes just like grandma's. It's a treat for her, since she doesn't cook. BTW, if my mother-in-law did live long enough for me to know her, I would have kept my mouth shut and did whatever she wanted, whatever way she wanted it done. She was a cop. One of the first females on the force. I still have her badge.

Oh, and redhand, I'm an only child and you can bet I was daddy's little princess! lol Funny thing is hubby is a lot like my dad. Dad hated him while we dated, but after we married, it was like he was his son and I was the daughter-in-law. Dad really came to love him like a son. They did everything together, including worshiping me!! ha ha

My man is a mama's boy, but it is a good thing. He doesn't compare me to her (once he said "don't tell my mother, but i like your meatballs better than hers."); he worries about her, though. She raised him right. He is a good man, very concerned and very courteous. He is also a good father ( he has custody of his kids) and a caring step-father.

Just don't tell him I said all these nice things about him. He will milk them.

Ooooh, good thing I like you Crest. Or I'd be extorting the hell out of you, hahaha.

Don't worry, Val. He is still a PIA. Hogs the TV, lies about golf like Ray Romano, goes into his cave at the wrong times, etc.

Red, have you been listening to our conversations at our house. I hear that alot but he isn't a mama's boy. He just respects her knowledge and so do I. Since my mom passed away when I was 17, I really need a mom's prospective and I'm grateful for her.

What the hell does it take to make you happy? I'll bet you are easy to live with, too, aren't you? Maybe, there is a GOOD reason for going to "the Cave". Ever think of that? Sometimes it is better than dealing with an irrational, moody, PIA, spouse. But that wouldn't be the case at your house, would it?

They don't call me Sybil for nothing!

I'm high maintenance--all of the me's are.

I am soooooooooo not moody.
