It's the turnip thing sweetie. As you know, I'm oh so famliar with the problem. Seems like when anything emotional happens it's as if their ability to cope is overwhelmed and they revert to childhood behaviors...like pouting, causing ouchies, exiting grumpily, sulking, etc. I don't understand it either. Not that *I* haven't been known to engage in any of the above behaviors....but that's different. :-)
Really, I think our tolerance for emtional stuff, the good and the bad, is just higher. These gentlemen need a) to want to be different b) to work on adding healthy communication skills. I never got past "a" with mine. ("I yam what I yam...")
Miss ya snuggle buns, emmy
