It is not normal 6-year-old behavior, despite what others say.  It is normal bratty, spoiled 6-year-old behavior, and it is not acceptable.  Since your husband won't correct him, you are just going to have to let the kid know that you aren't his sibling and you don't compete for slushies and you are happy that they have a good time together.  Try and stay in that mindset.  Also, if you don't mind my commenting on something I think you said earlier about them cuddling and stuff and how you thought that was strange - it might seem strange if it is not something you have witnessed before, but that is an important part of bonding.  Six years old is still pretty young and they should be doing a lot of cuddling.  It will end soon enough so let your hubby give him that affection.  The kid might not be getting it from his mom or others in his life.   

I also don't understand why others are saying you are humiliating your husband in a public forum.  That's silly.  Now if you posted it on a billboard in his hometown, that would be different!

if he doesn't he could at least smoke right by a window and blow the smoke directly outside - maybe in just one room in the house.  I think he should definitely smoke outside but if he refuses, blowing the smoke directly out the window will help a bit.  My father-in-law smokes in the house sometimes right by the window, and his house doesn't smell nearly as bad as a lot of smokers' houses.

I'm sure you know your husband is putting your health in danger by doing this.  My step-grandpa died of lung cancer and never smoked, but both of his wives chain smoked, and I'm sure that second-hand smoke was a factor in him dying of lung cancer.  My husband also has asthma, and I wonder if it's partly because his father smoked in the house his whole life.  Dr. Phil always says you teach people how to treat you, and it sounds like up until this point it hasn't bothered you too much, so you will have to teach him something different now that it is really getting to you.  Good for you for putting your foot down!

7. Call the 3  national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert  on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number.  I  had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me  an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name. The alert  means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen,  and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.   
By the time I  was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had  been done. There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the  thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the  alert.  Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thieves  threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in).  It seems to  have stopped them dead in their tracks.


Now, here are  the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, etc., has been  stolen:
 
1.) Equifax:  1-800-525-6285

2.) Experian  (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742

3.) Trans   Union : 1-800-680-7289

4.) Social  Security Administration (fraud line): 1-800-269-0271

We pass along  jokes on the Internet; we pass along just about everything.  

If you are  willing to pass this information along, it could really help someone.

It's pretty self-explanatory. Buy a nice seedless watermelon, insert funnel and pour in oodles of liquor of choice...vodka, schnapps, rum, etc. (You'd be amazed at how much booze these things can drink!) Let sit overnight in your fridge if you can stand to wait that long, cut up and serve or drill holes into melon and give your best bud a straw and watch the magic happen.  See you in rehab.

So what fun things do you guys have planned for the long weekend? 

I have to work. 

Totally techno day today.  Got MP3 for Vday - not fancy or anything and never really something I knew I wanted, but spent the morning downloading and LOVE IT  Will mostly use when walking the dogs.    Anyone have any ideas on best way to buy music?  I got a Rhapsody CD with a free month.  Do I need it?  I actually like offbeat stuff, movie soundtracks or old stuff like Jackson Browne.  Running on Empty was my first download and Christian Automobile by the Dixie Hummingbirds my second, so very eclectic taste. 

Secondly, anyone attempt to use the new TV converter boxes?  I apparently bought the exact opposite of what I needed (dig to analog instead of other way round) and used the $40 coupons, so that will be a fun return/refund.  We have never not had cable/DISH, but my husband had a fight with a phone cust rep in another country shall we say and got mad and discontinued service.  This was a month ago and after a short withdrawal period we find we love not having so many choices.  Who knew?
