Well,we got that game badge.

For the record, it wasn't a game where we were competing against each other. It was a one-person game that he played a lot, but I was inexperienced at, and he was showing me how to play so I could help accumulate points while he was at work.

I appreciated the hints and tips at first, but he started overdoing it, not letting me play my own way even after I caught on. More than one way to skin a cat, y'know. (to my cats) Oops. Sorry. Nobody wants to skin *you.*

I'm not sure he'll ever understand about me wanting him to say "It's not a good idea" as opposed to "No, we're not doing that." Every time I bring that up, no matter what I use as an example, he thinks the example is the issue, he starts "reasoning" with me about the example (such as the dog), and the real problem is just lost in the shuffle.
