Help, it seems my 35 year old wife is in MLC #11

I'm watching the movie "The Replacements" Gene Hackman uses the expression "Like a duck on the water. Calm on the surface but your feet are going a mile a minute under the water."

I thought that was a pretty good description of the MLC/WAS.

I'm bored out of my mind so I thought I would post something even though I don't have much to say.

Lawless, I think you may be on to something with the control idea. W likes to have things go her way (esspecially since MLC) she is forever changing our schedule. I pretty much always let her get away with it because although BS her reasoning has a logical side to it. For example "Lets switch weeks .... that way you will have S8 for his birthday." or "I have an oportunity to go away over Chirstmas so we should switch weeks so that way you can have the kids for Christmas. Christmas is more important to your family anyway" She likes this one too. "I have plans (doctors appointment / have to work / don't feel well / some other excuse) so can you watch the kids? If you can't, it's no big deal, I'll find someone to watch them" One time I picked them up after some lame excuse and her mother calls so she is telling her mother on the phone how nice I am for watching the kids for her.

The other control thing she likes to do is call me up and give me instructions. for example, she called yesterday and said "It's suppose to be cold out tomorrow so make sure you dress the kids warmly"

Grace, If she is finding people to agree with her or actually getting advice, you have to consider the source. The people she associates with are questionable at best.
