Flashback! The few times the kids or I have ever said anything (later) about what happened,what was said,etc...that was the reaction...RAGE! AH then said I was making it all up to make him feel badly and look bad...that he would never do or say anything like that,that I was trying to turn the kids against him by making them believe those things happened (the kids were the ones that mentioned it most times;and the "kids" were in their teens!). Mine never thought it was "a joke" or kidding...... He just vented anger and frustration,especially when he was not the center of attention and his "command was not being obeyed".....that is when these situations
occured in our house.
It really is not logical thinking so reason is not involved. Just damage control. At least in our home. That is why he is not in it.
