I know, Mimi! I hate that I was kind of happy about it! Don't hate it too much!
Yes, they need to ease their guilt. I get laundry galore, discipline more often, homework etc etc. BUT, I guess someday my kids will understand and will be proud of me. That's what matters to me.
P.S. Do you have a joint account? H would do that to me. We didn't have any $$$ and I got a very small amount in the beginning of our separation. BUt there was always enough for him to take kids to professional football games, zoo, movies etc. Getting my own account and using my own $$ was the best thing I ever did.
