So for about a month now Clay, daughters fiance, has been so good. He has really manned up
Doing work around the house, dishes, garbage taken out, and cooking great food.
Granted he has been expecting a settlement which he got yesterday and proceeded to pay off daughters loan bills and get her computer out of hock and pay his mom back money he borrowed to buy daughter a beautiful heart shaped engagement ring for Christmas. .
Which goes to show money don't always solve every problem but it does whittle them down extensively. Don't care what anyone says about that. Having it helps a LOT!
This morning I ask daughter "what have you done with the real Clay?" and told him how proud I am of him . I tend to thank people and give them the compliments they are due.
Most may not have seen that old movie called The Stephford Wives. but that is what I was thinking about.
Almost afraid to brag cause usually that is when things go wrong again. but I do so many sad posts thought I would do this one and thank you all too for all your prayers.

I'm glad he's doing his part in helping out. And that he's paying people back.

yes after all these years of complaining about him and having to put up with him because of daughter, i was surprised how long it has lasted. i just hope it continues.
hope my bragging didn't change things. i have told him how proud i am that he is doing so much better these days.

@bunnybon7 I sure hope he continues all the good stuff too. Everyone can start somewhere, and hopefully this is the good start that he needed - surely hearing praise from you uplifted his spirits too!

@much2say it seems to work better then complaining. but then praise usually does more

yes this is part of what has caused us to get along better. i have stopped blaming him for our trouble with finances and he has started feeling more like a man. makes it better all around
