Probably have to wait until he gets a new job with benefit, he hasn't gone back to see the doctor since he lost his job, he is more than happy since he doesn't thinks he is ADHD.

DS5 can be like this with his DS too. Lately it's been Lego StarWars all the time. Doesn't help that he has Star Wars actual Legos too. I've been thinking about taking the DS away for a bit just to see if he'd stop drawing Clone Troopers all the time. We finally banned all game talk at dinner.
Last summer I was talking to a little boy at our ballpark, while watching a game that happened to be his older brother's game. I asked him what team he was on & he said "I don't play baseball. I play video games" and then proceeded to show me the BLISTERS on his thumbs.
:faint:
I will never forget that. He had his DS with him, of course.

I don't know, a new husband probably has a new set of issues. LOL
He is actually a very nice and caring person. He still sticks around after being yelled at for a few months now. LOL
If he is motivated, he actually can get work done. The problem is there are very few things actually motivate him to do home projects.
Going to a local small Art Studio School to do a Canvas Painting Party tonight with one of my sisters. Gonna be a good time and they let you bring food and drinks in

We took ds8's ds away for a good 6, maybe 9 or more months. We told him we sold it. I would find him up in the middle of the night playing it. I am not up for a total ban for the household on video games. My other kids like them, but are not "addicted." They, in varying degrees (some need more prodding and monitoring than others), know how to put them away and move on. I hate to punish the others because of ds8 with a total ban. I do feel, right now, that a total ban for ds8 is in order. I would like to think that it won't have to be total forever as he does need to learn self control. With the techno world we live in he will have to learn it or he won't be able to function as an adult. Perhaps, though, we will find that just as an alcoholic cannot handle even one drink, kids/people who have that bend towards video game addiction have to stay away from it completely. I'm not sure.

I can't get dh to do any home improvement type stuff. He said he was going to paint the interior of the house several years ago. Humph! I'm still silently seething that he told another guy at church that he was remodeling the kitchen. Yeah, right. He went to look at some cabinets some guy was giving away to fill in an empty space (that has been there for 20+ years) . He didn't take them because the whole place was nasty and he was afraid he'd be bringing home some critters. We bought a door two years ago to replace our back screen door that I'm still waiting for him to replace. I told him I want a compost to make use of the stuff left from juicing. He stuck it in bags in the back fridge - ya know, til he does whatever with it. Uuuuhm, no, it is not sitting in the back fridge stinking til we finally realize he is never doing anything with it. Uuugh! But hey, other than those things he's nearly perfect.
CANNOT believe that my DD's grandfather DID NOT even give her a card for her bday today! WTF? My DH"s dsyfunctional family never fails to amaze me. SMH. FWIW, they were even at his house and he didn't even give her a card or anything! He just said Happy Birthday! ****!
Thinking that I've had a couple of great mail days this week ...
I've gotten back 3 out of the 4 P&G 15.00 rebates that I sent off for at the end of December. The last one should be coming back any day now. The receipts I used were mostly Walgreens HE ones and those were a 1.00 MM to begin with so getting this 45.00 in gift cards is purely a bonus.
DH got a check from his dental office for 660.xx. He had a dental procedure done late last year and insurance was only going to cover up to 500.00. Well, the check is for more than that so I'm happy to get the extra money back.
And, my 401k statement from my old company showed up today. My account is currently worth 45,000 more than when it was at it's low point at year end 2008. This is probably the first time where I didn't feel depressed when I opened up the statement so that is definitely good news to me!

I'm sorry, but I agree with you and that just doesn't seem right to me either!
Sorry babe. I'm sure it sucks, but men aren't good with things like that.............just try to keep that in mind.
I would be shocked for a grandfather to come up with a gift or card without a reminder or "helper" ie grandma/etc to get something.....
My dad hasn't bought a card on his own as far as I remember my entire life IF it wasn't for my mother.
ALL the family card's are purchased (and usually signed) by her for both of them.

My dad (may he rest in peace) would remember to buy the cards (usually before I had to start doing it) but he didn't always remember to actually sign them. out:
Worse, he would sign my twin sisters and not mine :dunce:
That was a little depressing :37:

My cousins parents were divorced for aeveral years before she got a birthday card from her father. When he finally sent her one it turned out to be identical to the one her mother sent her. To top that it happened again a few years later. :lol:
