the point is I am with them the other six days of the week...aren't I entitled to a day off???

or perhaps what annoys me most is that he is here on this day but isn't here...it's as if I'd rather he just not be here if he's not going to be here!

get it?

you can say whatever you want...it is not you who is going to make me mad it is h and his lack of consideration for the fact that he does have a wife and kids here.

so if I'm to take your suggestion that would mean that a better way to deal with the day would be to take two little kids off to spend the day somewhere else? and leave h to a quiet peacfull empty house to watch his football? ya that's sounds good.
