Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

Another non-smoker herebut I used to work in health care and looked after lots of people with smoking-related illnesses, most of whom were dying.
I'm sure you know what the dangers are so I needn't give you a list of the horrible diseases and conditions I saw.
Not trying to scare you, but all those patients had at one time been happy-go-lucky youngsters who bloody loved smoking and weren't giving it up so get off my back, daddy-o!
A bit like you, really, until recently.
If you beat the addiction, you won't end up like that. Simple!
Of course, many health workers smoke, even ones who look after lung cancer patients, so scare tactics don't work.
CLEVERNESS does though. Giving up is clever.
