The kids and I had a nice quiet night last night together as always. My S14 and I have colds, so just spent the night watching TV together. D8 asked H to play her favorite game, Pet Shop, with us, and take a break from his stripping paint on the porch which he has now been doing for the past 3 or 4 weeks. He came in and was totally stressed out, and saying he had to get right back to stripping (and I'm sure he wanted to get back to texting the OW) and saying he just couldn't take much time, we needed to hurry.
I mean this game takes 5 to 10 minutes and he couldn't just focus on being with his daughter and having fun; it was so sad! Every time it was our turn to spin, he was saying "spin, spin" trying to rush us. It was horrible. The game lasted 10 minutes and I couldn't wait for him to leave and he rushed out to the porch as soon as it ended to go strip paint/text the OW.
I played another game with my D after and it was much more relaxed of course, since I'm normal, and it lasted about 5 minutes! (The crack addict analogy I gave earlier is really so right on for him right now I would say.)
He is out with the OW again this morning, but ever since I figured out they spend the weekend mornings/early afternoons at McDonalds ballpits with her kids (and its freezing this morning) I am not quite as jealous somehow, it doesn't sound that romantic to me!!! Karen43
