On being the best O'Dog I can be

[orangedog]

Agreed. And so it will be done.

1. Yeah, in the $ sense leaving the house was a good thing. Now she's stuck with that bear. I get a clean start and a new life.

2. Usually they are just in and out of there but now it's handoff at the door.

3. I agree with Lucky that BFF is evil enabler, up to no good, way too involved with kids, and has taken over W's life. Seriously BFF has taken over W's house; every closet; every cupboard; every knick-knack. Paint colors upstairs. Furniture downstairs. She shows up at soccer games and acts like one of the moms.

Seriously, it's like a syndrome or something. It's way beyond being helpful or being a roommate. It's scary how quickly this woman moved into her life and took over.

I try to have little to do with her. If I could afford more for daycare right now then I would have the kids in their own program on my days (or all days). When school starts I will take care of everything myself.

I don't know how much pull BFF has over W's judgement but I assume quite a bit right now. I'm waiting for W to see the light but the few times I've mentioned BFF, I was met with a angry response about how she's is the best thing in the world and how I have no right to feel that way (uhhh..I can feel anyway I want, thank you). I'm still getting little quips out of nowhere justifying how BFF makes our life better. I just shake my head. I never agree.

BFF makes them clean up. BFF makes them do reading. BFF helps organize my house. These are things W was never good at and now she has someone to do the work.

I'm going to bring it up again and tell her how I don't agree. BFF is helpful but a little too helpful and needs to get her own life. W needs to step up and be the parent. Sometime soon W WILL figure out how this woman is running her life.

3. As for the dating thing, I'm not open to comparison shopping. I've told her I don't like it and I'm not doing it myself. I feel I need to take a stronger stance and just say as long as she says she's dating others then there will be no exchange between us.

No wonder I'm angry and don't feel it for her anymore.
