hey did I somehow manage to slip a complaint in there?? well I suppose all is not lost I still have a few days left in this year before I start with the resolutions.
shiny,
in answer to your inquiry, "my" family does help out with the food. Each person either asks what they can make or bring or they just bring something (brothers gf even brought a nice calzone and other brother brought some fruit) we all stay together no men dissapearing all day to watch sports. H's family??? well usually h's grandmother always brings some desserts..bil's wife makes brownies or something (but didn't start that until after comming every weekend all summer empty handed I finally aksed if they would bring something) well this holiday the only person to bring anything was an uncle who doesn't usually attend (they brought a bottle of wine) but the ladies did help do the dishes. As you can guess most of the men did end up downstairs with h watching football but they didn't all stay down there as much as h. H did piss me off at one point before all arived while I was trying to get the food ready son wanted to go outside and asked h, h said no (cause he was watching football) so me in my high-heel boots busy cooking went outside with him instead (gee and h wonders why son is more excited to help mommy bake than to sit and watch football with daddy)
I dunno.
funny thang is sons 3rd birthday occured just after h moved out and at that party h couldn't do enough...constantly asking what needed to be done..helping me with the food etc...now he wont go near the stove and once again didn't bring the folding chairs in til we were about to sit down and eat despite the fact that I said I needed them first thing in the morning (a bit of a reminder of the easter that h said "I can't do this anymore" this meaning be my h)
I'm not depressed, I'm not angry, I'm not anything....just slowly loosing interest in the m and know that by the time h does anything (like his little stirrings of last night) it will be to little to late.
