make the best of it! Bottle the those feeling when your around the kids and release them in her presents. She'll start to wonder "why the he!! is bm7 so happy?" I feel like crap and so should he. Don't let her bring you down, be the rock.
That's one of the things I need to work on. Being happy in front of her. She does claim that she is a happy person all the time but I bring her down.
When it is just me and the kids we have a great time. We do so many things together and my W claims that they only do the fun stuff with me because I have control of the money. This was one of the issues she had in the past that i controlled the finances. When we first started working on things I put everything down by the computer so she can have full access to anything. And when she asked for money to do this or that I never told her no.
I told her that what the kids and I do doesn't cost any money. Whether it be going to the library, the playground having play dates or just playing in the yard we're always doing something and for wahtever reason she hates me for it.
One other thing I forgot to mention is that she wanted me to sleep on the couch. I told her no. If she was the one that didn't want to work on things then I wasn't going to be the one to leave the bedroom.
