You both are definitely right. The theatre has been a lifesaver for me. Last night I didn't have a rehearsal and H is just so --what's the word I'm looking for? tiresome, jerky, I don't know. He didn't come home until 8:30 so D8 was pretty upset by then thinking she wouldn't see him, made worse by the fact that he goes out every Thurs. night until midnight so she wouldn't have seen him till Fri.

He comes home and tells D8 he was at his girlfriend's (so OW is apparently already moved out of her H's and into the new apartment H will be moving into next week) and had dinner there so wouldn't have the dinner D8 and I had made! I used to get really upset when he was home late with OW in the past, now I don't get much upset anymore, it's unfortunately just my D8 that's hurt and upset but I guess he can't see that.

Then I had the stomach flu (had it all day) although I still homeschooled both kids, cleaned, spent almost an hour cooking dinner, etc. but didn't get D8's bath started until 9, she does her own bath but I still wash her hair, and H commented on how I am failing on my responsibilities again. I told him I had the flu so that was why I was late with the bath and she only got to bed a few minutes late anyway. I was up half the night sick with flu after that! I can't get over how he will comment on my failing with responsibilities right after he has spent a huge chunk of time with OW totally avoiding them completely!!! Karen
