hi ya fran,

just scanning over your last few posts and notice somewhat of a theme...

the kiddos...

they can be buggers can't they!? (mine too as you know)

the theme I'm noticing is that you are trying to change some of the ways you deal with the kids to ensure a happy, healthy, productive home environment. Kids are a struggle and that struggle is adding to the r issue?

one comment you made realy jumped out at me...
"h gave me a look like he was leaving the kids with a child abuser"

ok, fran..do you feel like you are being too tough on the kids? do you doubt yourself?

don't make assumptions about what h is thinking (I know, I do the same thing when it comes to the kids) or well if you have to make assumptions why not assume he's thinking..."my god I'm so lucky I get to leave while she puts up with this insanity"
