By the time I get a chance to read through your last thread and respond as appropriate, the point may be moot...

So I just wanted to say that both work AND GAL are the reasons for my intended absence. As much as I enjoy messing up all'y'all's heads, it was keeping me from my own life...

So here's the things I want to say:

I understand working from home at one's own business. Some people can compartmentalize that stuff really well... others... not so much...

so here is the part you may not like and try to give reasons why not...

You need to get S to a baby sitter's anyhow...

So that you can job hunt if / as you may see fit... or you can work... OR... when you feel like coming here or just hanging with your S... you actually go out and GAL!

Just as you must schedule work as necessary...

You MUST schedule GAL!

Sorry, you can't work 12 hours a day, spend 6 more hours a day being a mom... and not GAL...

And not sure if this was part of the question or what was the rest of your thread, yet...

You S should have extremely limited time with OW UNLESS your H is planning on M her (put a ring on her finger and set a date).

You cannot control how your H and OW interact (lovey dovey and all that) and consider how confusing that might be for him (his mom and dad are M but his dad is being loving with some other woman who is not his family). It won't send a very good message to your S for your S's future relationships...

Anyhow... gotta get to sleep...
