Default What is the best product for recurring drywall cracks?

Every couple of years, cracks in my drywall keep reappearing in more
or less the same spot. I resurface them with drywall compound, repaint
and sure enough, they come back.

The cracks are very small(possibly due to a weak spot susceptible to
freeze-thaw shifting of the house foundation) ..... is there are more
flexible product I could use to cover them up? Drywall compound is too
brittle and does not do the trick.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks ..... what a great forum! Wish I would have discovered it years
ago.

Paintable caulk, from any paint or hardware store. Smoosh it into the
crack with your finger, wipe surface with damp rag, let dry, prime, paint.
