Biodad is constantly catterwalling; especially when soused (which is almost always)--belting out a tune at a volume that would make a jackhammer blush. He actually thinks he can sing and was told by a few people that he CAN sing (because they are afraid of him and would NEVER say otherwise)

He has a high-pitched voice to begin with for a man; add to it a total lack of vibrato and then barely carrying the tune (pitchy).

I have earplugs for his snoring but all I can do is laugh and say "don't quit your day job."

1. Never checking items we already have in the pantry, therefore buying duplicate items (several bottles of the same thing in the cupboard) I am FOREVER trying to consolidate condiments etc.

2. Having several boxes of stuff opened without finishing the first (similar to item 1)

3. When cooking, making HUGE batches of food that we'll never eat even if we freeze (WTF???)

BRAG!!! INCESSANTLY over EVERYTHING they do!!

Is this just an alcoholic trait or what?

I'm from a VERY strict European background where bragging about oneself is at best obnoxious and at worst, a cardinal SIN!

Biodad brags about EVERYTHING he does--even if what he does is mediocre at best.

Example: "OOOHHH this is the BEST MEXICAN FOOD EVER!!" (after cooking one of his infamous mexican/asian/latin/english fusion ad hoc meals)

Let me be more specific. Has anyone gotten their SO/DH/BF to go to or take online Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University courses?

Biodad is so truly horrific with money it's unreal. He repeatedly overdraws then blames the bank. He buys the first thing he sees and is an impulse buyer without doing any of the research first. And Biodad is the type to think that there's nothing wrong with him--anything he doesn't agree with is instantly proclaimed wrong. He's Mary Poppins--practically perfect in every way!
