Regarding the blaming....
Even in piecing, I see H blaming me in many ways. He left his keys somewhere and couldn't find it. My fault that I put something on top of it. I cooked great food and it's because the ingredients are fresh. I cooked it bad and it's because I added too much salt, etc.

We are still in piecing. OW still around trying to get back in
the picture (or did she ever get out of it?????)

LO, you have mail
