No words of wisdom, just wanted to say your descriptions of what you are going through with your kids have made me redouble my efforts not to have to tell our kids the same if I can possibly help it.
This! Except that's why my H bailed now - because he'd rather do this when our kids are 1 and NOT EVEN BORN than ten years from now. Like it makes a damn difference in the end.
DMK,
You still have time. You are so new to this. Don't lose hope. I mean that, really, despite what H might have said. Just my 2 cents.
Me 45, H 46, S 23, M 26, Together 30, Bomb 6-2-08, S 6-19-08; H left 12-29-08. H home 12-09, Still MLC in 2012! Me- I have my big girl panties on. Bring it.
