Had a decent week, played bball 2 nights, and worked out another. Oldest had 3 bball games this week and they have clinched #1 seed.
Had dinner w/ boys and W tonight at my house. She also had our nephew (sil's son) who is 7 and is having a lot of difficulties (behavioral, emotional). My W and I have cared for him more than his M and he and my sil, along w/ her 3 other kids are living at my WAW's place.
My W continues to willingly take more care of him than his own mother which I commend but also frustrates me. She stated to me when she was reluctant to take them in that she was not going to enable her sister and she was going to teach her how to be a good parent and not parent for her. Well I thought otherwise but kept it to myself and I'm sorry to say it is the case.
She spends more time w/ him than she does w/ our own kids. She is a fixer/care-taker and always has been and she has felt and told me that when her focus isn't 100% on me & our kids that I unfairly get upset.
This seems like a valid example of that. However, I enjoy watching him, spending time with him, having him over for dinner, etc. as well but tonight she mentions the possibility of her taking over custody of him.
She has hinted at this previously and I have just validated as I did again tonight. I mean shouldn't she consider slightly asking my opinion of this?? We are currently married. Or is she already D'd in her mind and doesn't think it's necessary to get my thoughts?
For what it's worth I have said previously that we should just take him permanenly but that was a long time ago.
I'm not sure if I would be for it or against it at this time but of course it's out of my control anyway so whatever happens happens.
The mind of a WAW, smh.
And obviously I'm still having trouble detaching as things she says and does are still irritating/frustrating me.
