Just saying hello.

[prometheus]

Tell your W "yes you are right that they should be at home with the happy parent. When are you leaving?"

Thank you for posting MrBond. I tried a variation of this about six months ago. I couldn't pretend to be happy though. My wife said that i should move out and go and live somewhere else for a while. I told her that i did not want to but i did invite her to go if she really wanted to. I said that i would look after the children and she could go and do whatever it was that she had planned.

W was mortified at the suggestion that i took charge of the care of the kids. If i remember, she said something like..."and how would that work?" and "well we know where it is in the best interest for the children to stay, so no one is ever going to agree to that."

I responded by saying that of course the children will want and need to be with their mother. I, however, do not want to leave either. I would like to think that they need me for *something*?? We deserve to live in the same house together.
