It's just that you've done such a good job raising him that he feels confident enough to want to do things on his own. Great big kudos to him for having the patience to continue to try until he accomplishes the task at hand. I know I'd probably be mad way before the tenth try!<br />God's grace knows no boundariesLisahttps://treasureboxbabysupplies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-89613477485182078442020-10-14T15:25:17.360-04:002020-10-14T15:25:17.360-04:00what would Max have done with a whole Steak if you...what would Max have done with a whole Steak if you had not jumped in and started cutting it up? While you know he will need assistance, maybe next time instead of just jumping in to help you can wait and allow Max to initiate the request for help. Then you can offer him some solutions, such as you cutting it up or sending it back to with the request that the kitchen staff cuts it up. From reading your posts it sounds like Max is highly capable and often surprises you with things he is capable of doing, but in the past you may have assumed he couldn’t do. He may already have his own idea how to solve this problem.

The teen years are when they really like to branch off on their own but you are good to want to help him out where needed. And I gotta say, a steak with A1 sauce sounds so good right now. I miss restaurant dining and good for you to continue that with Max and family. I’d wanna just dig in too! Haha. AVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05446922162984576968noreply@blogger.com
