[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you are over reacting. When he mentioned he couldn’t afford new shoes, this is when you tell him you will buy them or pay half or whatever you are comfortable with. From this one discussion, you will not be batching meals, making sandwiches and giving rides. Being a single mother isn’t his fault. [/quote] Yeah, maybe he is just snippy and rude, but it also seems like you might be a bit overbearing, or perhaps still relating to him like a child, rather than an adult. How did you react when he criticized the app? Did you express interest, ask questions about why he felt that way, thank him for his concern? Or are you the only one who knows anything or can give advice? How many times have you mentioned things he needs to buy? Do you resent him living at home, even though you agreed to it? I think you need to consider the full dynamic, not just him being snippy or short.[/quote]
