    @wrkbrk: This is going to sound ridiculous but our old nanny would cut my son’s strawberries for school with a table knife for his lunch box and because it wasn’t a clean cut (she has to kind of saw them) it made them crazy mushy by the next day for lunch😬. The pairing knife is sharper and thus it keeps them from breaking down that way. I promise I’m not on her side-but maybe if that’s her reason she could have mentioned it? If not I’ve got nothing 😂

    @DesertDreams88: yes this the case for us. All of our arguments are about who said what in what tone and what was meant and who isn’t listening and understanding or valuing the others opinion. DH tends to think I’m attacking if I’m a little testy. I feel like I can’t even express any frustration without being told I’m attacking... and so it goes.

    @Anagram: wow, thank you so much for this! Thats also us, 100%. I voted money but this different mindset is totally the real culprit. I have this primal feeling that I need to be saving as much money as possible/be a fun maximizer, while DH repeatedly says he wants to enjoy the things he likes now and not put it off for later. I'm going to share this with him!

    @ChiCalGoBee: That I guess is the reason. She thinks it’s not sharp enough. She is very meticulous and particular about things (especially in the kitchen!) and I am ... not 😂🤷‍♀️
