When H takes the kids...which has been very rare during the last 3 years...it feels like he is stealing from me.

It makes me feel abandoned by H AND the kids.

I am the parent 24/7 and a weekend rolls along and H takes the kids for what...48 hours...and they have fun.

Then they come back to me for 'real' life.

I should relish my free time.

I wish I could ask Mr C. out on a date.
