OMG... I just learned that H is not planning on going with us to college town to move D in. Am I crazy? I can't believe he isn't going. He states, "It's a furnished apt. Not much to move." Ummm....doesn't he want to see where his 18 year old D is going to be living and going to school? Doesn't he want to be a part of this experience? I mean, come on...this is a rite of passage. He doesn't want to miss a day of work Monday to go? Granted, he doesn't get paid when he doesn't work (he contracts) but he can make the hours up. Oh, and he sure didn't mind missing 3 days to go to Vegas!
I'm dumbfounded. This has nothing to do with the M, I just can't believe he is so detached that he sees it as no big deal that he isn't going. This makes me so sad. It's just like her graduation a few months back: in my mind, I picture a husband and wife sharing this bond - these sentiments of pride and a little melancholy - sitting together, holding hands, with their kid graduating and moving on in life. Here my H was, looking like he was ready to leave most of the time. Now he can't see the importance of taking her to school and moving her???
I don't know what to say. Part of me thinks, "Oh well - his loss," yet the other part of me thinks I should try to convince him to go. I don't know why he has to be such an A$$! Then, of course, I ask myself why I want to be married to someone like this! (Well, for my kids sake...of course.)
SIGH
Oh - he didn't seem moody about the money stuff at all, so that was OK. Thank the Lord for small favors there!
