Sheesh! Since catching up with you yesterday, there's already another 5 or 6 pages! Popular guy, eh?

She decided that meant that I was trying to shove the problem off on her, and that I said that I work more than she does. I said, that I had said no such thing.


Do you think perhaps your W feels burnt out from working her job then coming home to take care of the family? What does she do for work - what's her occupation? Does she enjoy what she does? Do you know what her dreams and aspirations are? Do you ask her about her day?

Like Michelle, I agree that it seems your W feels very unappreciated. Do you and the boys help out around the house? If so, how often? Could the boys do more? Perhaps performing more acts of service, rather than simply telling her, will help her to feel appreciated.

Sorry if you've been asked all this before. \:\)

S18 was there, and said, "Mom, he didn't say that at all!" About that time she went into a huff, said she didn't need to listen to that, and that she was going to her room. Then she and S18 got into more of an argument for at least another half hour, I don't even know what about. He won't take her crap, even when she is right.


Like mother, like son?? ;\)

(((Have a great day!)))
